Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town 2025

Leon is the founder and CEO of Cape Crypto, a proudly South African exchange launched in November 2020. With over 15 years of experience in software engineering and product management, Leon’s journey with Bitcoin began in 2012, fueling his vision for freedom by liberating South Africans from financial tyranny. After honing his skills in product management at various startups across the world, most recently in Sydney and later at globalist-sell-out Luno in Cape Town, Leon founded Cape Crypto to simplify Bitcoin access for every South African, particularly the under-banked, by offering voucher and bank on-ramps, a no-frills no-fuss app, and uniquely, a Bitcoin-only mode, plus BTC Lightning — still the only South African exchange to do so.
