Index
Every page,
Every page,
described in a line.
Every page on this site, grouped and described. There is no search box, on purpose — a site this size is faster to navigate from a list than from a query, and a list shows you what exists rather than what matches a guess.
Start here
The three pages that answer “what is this and what will it cost me”.
- Home — What the desk does, how a trade runs, and the live indicative calculator.
- Request a quote — The enquiry form, the documents to have ready, and the direct channels to the dealing desk.
- Fees and limits — How the desk margin is built, which fees you pay, and where the minimum ticket sits.
Services
One underlying transaction, described for the situation you are actually in.
- All services — The full service list with the boundaries of each one stated plainly.
- OTC crypto exchange — The core desk: crypto assets to rand and back, priced against South African books.
- Large-volume trades — Why a big order moves a thin book, and how a single negotiated price avoids that.
- Stablecoin desk — USDT and USDC across TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20, Solana and Base, network confirmed first.

- International settlement — Arriving in South Africa with crypto assets, with the exchange-control position explained honestly.

Rates
Indicative South African pricing, refreshed from VALR and Luno order books.
- Live rates — Every quoted asset against the rand, with bid, ask and the sources named.
- BTC to ZAR — Bitcoin in rand, the local premium, and what a large BTC ticket looks like here.
- USDT to ZAR — Tether in rand, network choice, and why the USDT rand price is not the dollar price.
- ETH to ZAR — Ethereum in rand, gas costs and the practical differences between Ethereum, Arbitrum and Base.
- USDC to ZAR — USD Coin in rand, and how it differs from USDT in reserves, networks and local liquidity.
How the desk works
Process, documents, settlement and the compliance the whole thing sits on.
- How it works — Enquiry, onboarding, firm quote, settlement — with the honest timings for each.
- Onboarding and FICA — The document list, the statutory basis for each item, and what slows an onboarding down.

- Compliance — Regulatory status with the instrument named and the public register linked for each claim.
- Verify our channels — The only numbers, handles and addresses that are ours — check before you send anything.

About the two languages
Pages written for South African English search — the per-asset rate pages and the guides — are published in English only. Everything a Russian-speaking client needs in order to trade, including the enquiry page and every legal document, exists in both languages.

Investing in crypto assets may result in the loss of capital, as the value is variable and can go up as well as down. A crypto asset is not legal tender and does not fall within the National Payment System Act. Conexus Crypto provides an exchange service only and does not provide financial, investment or tax advice.
