Indicative USDT P2P premium over the official USD/ZAR rate; the rand market is deep so the premium is small.
These rates are derived, not separately quoted: we take each coin's US dollar price and multiply by the live USD/ZAR exchange rate this site already publishes. That means the USDT rate here equals the USD/ZAR exchange rate (because USDT tracks the dollar). For mobile money fees in South Africa, see the South Africa page.

Frequently asked questions
How much is 1 USDT in ZAR today?
1 USDT is about R16.49 at the spot rate, derived from USDT's US dollar price times the live USD/ZAR exchange rate. On peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces the indicative rate is around R16.57, a premium over spot. These are indicative rates, not advice.
How much is 1 BTC in ZAR?
1 BTC is about R1,007,622.00 at the spot rate (Bitcoin's USD price times the live USD/ZAR rate). Bitcoin is volatile, so this moves continuously; the figure on this page updates as the underlying prices refresh.
Why is the P2P USDT rate higher than the official rate?
The spot rate here is USDT's dollar price times the official USD/ZAR exchange rate. On peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces, buyers and sellers set their own prices, and demand for dollars or dollar-pegged stablecoins often pushes the P2P rate above the official one, the same premium you see between official and parallel-market FX. The P2P figure is community-sourced and varies by platform, merchant and time.
Is USDT pegged to the dollar?
Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin designed to track the US dollar one-to-one, so its USD price stays very close to $1. That is why the USDT local rate on this page is essentially the live USD/ZAR exchange rate. It can deviate slightly from $1 in stressed markets.
Are these crypto rates official?
No. They are live indicative rates for information only: crypto US-dollar prices from a public market data source, converted using the live USD/ZAR exchange rate this site already tracks. They are not a quote, not advice, and we do not buy, sell or facilitate any crypto transaction.
