Is bitcoin legal in Colombia?
Bitcoin is legal to buy and hold in Colombia, but exchanges remain unregulated: crypto is classified as an intangible asset rather than currency, and it is not legal tender. The Superintendencia Financiera has run pilot programs with exchanges and issued repeated warnings, while Bill 510 of 2025, a licensing framework for virtual asset service providers, passed its first debate in Congress but is not yet law. Until it passes, platforms serving Colombians operate without a local licence.
