Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Bahrain?

Bitcoin is legal in Bahrain and regulated under the Central Bank of Bahrain's Crypto-Asset Module, part of the CBB Rulebook since February 2019. Licensed crypto-asset service providers operate under capital, custody, and anti-money laundering requirements, and Binance Bahrain received a full Category 4 licence from the CBB in May 2022. That makes Bahrain one of the clearest jurisdictions in the Gulf for retail buyers.
