VALR in review

Crypto may be up over 400% in 2021, but VALR has fared pretty well too. We’ve grown tremendously over the past year, having rolled out a wealth of new products to better serve you. Over 2021, we’ve distributed over R29 million in rewards to our users through campaigns and referral rewards, and added three new exchange pairs to our offering. Users can now trade SOL/ZAR, BTC/USDC, USDC/ZAR, and even deposit USDC via USD wire transfers

We’ve also been proud to roll out VALR Pay, offering users an instant, feeless ZAR payment rail – the most seamless way to transact ZAR in South Africa. 

As an exchange committed to offering users the best possible trading experience, we launched Simple swaps – allowing for the direct purchase of our 60+ altcoins with ZAR. To provide even more convenience, we implemented Auto-Buy, allowing clients to average out their holdings with regular scheduled purchases of BTC, ETH, and XRP, directly from their bank account!

Along with Auto-Buy, our team launched Subaccounts, allowing users more flexible control of their holdings to separate trading strategies from HODL bags, children’s savings, and much more.

There’s only one super-cycle we at VALR can guarantee with certainty – our own. Regardless of the market, our team continues to build tirelessly to bring you a world-class platform. We’ve got lots in store for 2022, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Here’s to a year of building, growing, and learning, together with you – the loyal community that has supported us since our launch just two years ago. We’ve not consulted the stars lately, but rumour has it that 2022 could be the year of the Valrian.
