Platform Background & Leadership
Founded 2013 in Cape Town by Marcus Swanepoel and Timothy Stranex. Acquired by Digital Currency Group (DCG) in 2020, the same parent as Genesis, Grayscale, CoinDesk. 104 markets. Focuses on emerging markets: Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe. Registered with UK FCA, South Africa's FSCA and Malaysia's Securities Commission.
Security Track Record
No confirmed major hacks. Majority cold storage, standard security. Main risk factor: DCG ownership. When DCG's subsidiary Genesis filed for bankruptcy in 2022-2023, it created financial uncertainty across the group. Luno operations were not directly affected and the exchange continued normally, but the parent company's troubles represent a background risk.
Based on 6 community reviews, Luno sits at an OG Score of 25.78. Clean operational record and multi-jurisdictional regulation are positives. The DCG connection is worth monitoring but has not impacted platform operations.
Luno Fees & Fee Structure
Instant buy/sell: 0.60%-1.50% spread. Luno Exchange (advanced): 0.40% maker, 0.60% taker. Strong fiat support in ZAR, MYR, NGN, EUR, GBP through local banking integrations.
Staking & Earn Products
Basic savings and earn on select assets. Designed for emerging-market retail users. No complex structured products.
Trading Experience & Platform Features
Deliberately simple interface for markets where crypto is gaining mainstream adoption. Clean mobile app for basic buy/sell/hold. No margin, futures, or leverage. Small token selection (104 markets). Best suited for users in Africa and Southeast Asia wanting a regulated exchange with local fiat integration.
