Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept Credit or debit card in DR Congo?

Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in DR Congo?

Bitcoin is legal in the DR Congo in the sense that no law prohibits it, but the space is unregulated. The Banque Centrale du Congo has warned consumers about cryptocurrency risks and does not recognise bitcoin as a means of payment, and no licensing regime for exchanges exists. Draft digital-asset legislation has been discussed, but until something passes, buyers rely entirely on the protections of the platform they use.
