Is bitcoin legal in New Caledonia?
No law prohibits buying or holding bitcoin in New Caledonia. As a French Pacific collectivity the territory takes its financial framework from French law as extended locally, but there is no crypto-specific regime or on-island regulator, and the EU's MiCA regulation does not apply automatically to overseas collectivities the way it does in France's overseas departments. Residents rely on foreign platforms, with the CFP franc's fixed peg to the euro simplifying pricing.
