Is bitcoin legal in Lebanon?
Lebanon sits in a genuine legal gray zone. Banque du Liban warned banks and financial institutions away from cryptocurrency in a December 2013 notice and has never licensed a crypto business, but no law criminalizes individuals buying or holding bitcoin. Since the banking collapse that began in 2019, enforcement energy has gone elsewhere, and a large informal market of over-the-counter desks and peer-to-peer traders operates openly without any regulatory framework or consumer protection.
