The Zimbabwean government is seeking comments from domestic and overseas crypto service providers to develop a tailored regulatory framework for the country, media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Zimbabwe follows in the footsteps of its neighboring country South Africa, which started seeking clarity on crypto oversight as early as 2022. It became the first African country to license crypto operators in March this year.

According to a June 12 report by The Zimbabwe Mail, the government has sought comments from the public and market participants as part of its comprehensive initiative to evaluate the country’s crypto landscape.
