Is buying bitcoin with EcoCash legal in Burundi?
Burundi's legal picture is worse than it first appears. In September 2019 the Bank of the Republic of Burundi announced a ban on cryptocurrency trading, warning of strong measures against traders, and no legislation since has formally softened that position. There is no licensing regime and no consumer protection, and while enforcement against individuals appears limited, anyone buying bitcoin in Burundi is acting against the central bank's stated policy.
