Is bitcoin legal in North Macedonia?
North Macedonia has no dedicated cryptocurrency law, so buying and holding bitcoin is legal by default but unregulated. The National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia has warned about crypto risks since 2016, and amendments to the anti-money laundering law in 2022 defined virtual assets and imposed compliance duties for the first time. As an EU candidate the country is expected to align with the bloc's MiCA framework, but no licensing regime exists yet.
