South Africa's exchange control regulations and intellectual property transfer rules are harming the potential of South Africa's start-up ecosystem. This is the view of Llew Claasen, co-founder – with Vinny Lingham – of venture capital firm Newtown Partners, who says the regulations make it difficult for venture capital providers to invest in local start-ups. Claasen joins the TechCentral podcast to talk about the changes the South African Reserve Bank should make to address the problem. The regulations, Claasen says in the podcast, make it harder for South African investors and entrepreneurs to be successful on the global stage. And the rules mean South Africa is at risk – and, in fact, very likely already is – missing out on the billions of dollars in global investment money targeting start-ups from the African continent. Is it difficult for government to change the regulations to promote investment in South African start-ups? And why are the rules there in the first place? Claasen unpacks these questions in the discussion. He also talks about Newtown Partners' history, the investments it's made, the company's partnership with Imperial Group and its focus on corporate venture capital. Claasen, who is an enthusiast of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies, also talks about why he's excited about decentralised finance, or DeFi, as well as social tokens, and where he sees the crypto space going in the coming years.

Despite scepticism from many people, the appetite for cryptocurrencies has grown to a market valuation of $2 trillion. There is no going back, according to South African internet entrepreneur Vinny Lingham. Lingham tells host Steve Clemons that crypto could “decimate” the traditional banking system if they were on a level playing field. No amount of government crackdown, whether from China or the United States, can stop people from using the internet to innovate and cut out the middlemen, Lingham says. And it is inevitable that cryptocurrencies force banks to rethink their purpose, just as the internet forced newspapers to rethink their business models. - Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/
