Is bitcoin legal in Cameroon?
Individuals are not prohibited from owning bitcoin in Cameroon, but the formal financial system is walled off from it. In 2022 COBAC, the banking commission of the CEMAC monetary zone that includes Cameroon, reminded banks, microfinance institutions, and payment providers that they may not hold, exchange, or settle crypto transactions. The regional markets regulator COSUMAF has since moved toward a licensing framework for virtual asset services, so the picture is slowly shifting from prohibition toward regulation.
