South Africa’s central bank flags crypto, stablecoins as financial risk

The bank cited increasing trading volume and the number of users among large exchanges, as well as gaps in South Africa’s regulatory framework on crypto.

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale

The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token.
