Explain what your company does to a gogo
Luno is an app on your phone where you use your rands to buy Bitcoin, or a small slice of big companies like Apple and Tesla. It’s like a money counter at the Post Office, except the queue is gone and the regulator has checked our paperwork. And like any investment, it can go down as well as up.
Your biggest win this year, in one sentence?
We became the infrastructure behind institutions: Discovery Bank clients now have Luno inside their banking app, ZARU brings the rand on-chain, Luno GTXN offers same-day stablecoin-to-local-currency settlement, and our LIDAC conference put regulators and institutions in one room.
