The FSCA's supervisory update on Crypto Asset Service Providers reports 30 on-site inspections between April 2025 and March 2026, with regulatory expectations clarified under the FAIS Act framework. There is no new licensing regime yet; FAIS remains the baseline while Directive 9 and Travel Rule work continues. The inspection count is the story: SA's conduct regulator is actively supervising licensed CASPs, not just licensing them. For licensed firms, an inspection-readiness file is now a practical necessity rather than a nice-to-have.
