Is buying bitcoin with International wire legal in Antigua and Barbuda?

Bitcoin is legal in Antigua and Barbuda, and the country regulates the sector under its own law rather than ignoring it. The Digital Assets Business Act 2020 created a licensing regime for exchanges, custodians, and token issuers, administered by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC). The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, which issues the East Caribbean dollar, has separately warned that bitcoin ATMs and bitcoin investment schemes in the currency union are not authorised by regulators, so treat locally marketed bitcoin products with care.
