Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept P2P transfers in Cook Islands?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Cook Islands, Binance accepts P2P transfers for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with P2P transfers legal in Cook Islands?

Bitcoin is legal in the Cook Islands but unregulated: there is no licensing regime for crypto exchanges, and the Financial Supervisory Commission supervises banks, trustee companies, and money-changing businesses rather than bitcoin platforms. Lawmakers have debated crypto-adjacent legislation, most notably the 2023 Tainted Cryptocurrency Recovery Bill aimed at recovering stolen funds through the courts, but no framework governs everyday buying and selling, so your protections are those of the offshore platform you choose.
