Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Cape Verde?

Bitcoin is legal to buy and hold in Cape Verde. Banco de Cabo Verde warned in 2018 that virtual currencies are not legal tender, and the country has since moved from silence to structure: Law 30/X/2023 brought virtual asset service providers under a registration and anti-money-laundering regime supervised by the central bank. No major international exchange has registered locally, so residents use foreign platforms regulated elsewhere.
