- “It is more complex than launching in an individual market because of the different states and different regulations within each of these states, so there’s lots of moving parts,” Reitz said.
- The London-based exchange is one of Africa's largest and has 9 million customers worldwide. It also has offices in Singapore, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Lagos and Sydney.
- Luno was founded in 2013, initially based in Singapore before relocating to London. In 2020, it was acquired by investment firm Digital Currency Group, the parent company of CoinDesk.
