The Gauteng High Court in South Africa has ruled that transferring Bitcoin to overseas exchanges constitutes a capital export, subject to the country's foreign exchange controls. The court ordered the confiscation of nearly 6 million rand in Bitcoin assets from a trader who transferred approximately 1,680 Bitcoins to a wallet accessible only through overseas-registered exchanges between January 2018 and March 2020. This action was deemed a violation of foreign exchange regulations, as it was done without the Ministry of Finance's approval. In related developments, South Africa's Treasury has released a draft of the 2026 Capital Flows Management Act for public comment. The proposed legislation aims to modernize the management of cross-border capital flows by reducing the need for pre-approval of transactions and enhancing the reporting and monitoring of high-impact, high-risk cross-border transactions.
