Is bitcoin legal in Macao?
Macao has no law banning individuals from holding or trading bitcoin, but the Monetary Authority of Macao (AMCM) prohibited banks and payment institutions from participating in or providing any financial services involving virtual currencies in a September 2017 notice, and has repeated its warnings since.
