Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept Credit or debit card in Dominican Republic?

Of the 4 exchanges we recommend in Dominican Republic, Binance, Kraken, Coinmama, Paxful accept Credit or debit card for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Dominican Republic?

Buying and holding bitcoin is legal for individuals in the Dominican Republic, but it sits outside the regulated financial system. The Banco Central de la Republica Dominicana warned in 2017 and again in 2021 that virtual currencies are not legal tender and are not backed by the state, and regulated financial institutions are barred from dealing in them. There is no dedicated crypto law, so users act at their own risk with no local consumer protection.
