delivery futures contracts settled in US dollar-pegged assets (USDⓈ-M) and cryptocurrency
(COIN-M) have been made available to its users in the country starting from Monday.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Binance said it has entered a “juristic
representative arrangement” with the trading services provider, FiveWest OTC Desk
(Pty) Limited to offer futures contracts to South Africans.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Through this arrangement, Brickhouse Trading
Limited, one of Binance’s group of companies, will offer derivatives products
to South African users, <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/tag/binance/" target="_blank">Binance</a>

offering its crypto futures</a>, options, margins and leveraged tokens to users in South Africa.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Binance pulled out of the country after the

in the country.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The exchange’s exit from South Africa follows Binance's similar <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/binance-com-to-stop-offering-crypto-trading-services-in-singapore/">cessation of
its derivatives services</a> in Australia, Hong Kong and many European countries as a result of hassles with local regulators.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, Binance was recently <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/a-virtual-free-zone-in-africa-is-being-discussed-with-binance/">in talks with</a> the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority
