Is bitcoin legal in Turkmenistan?
Turkmenistan's legal position is in transition. A Law on Virtual Assets signed in November 2025 recognises crypto as property and creates a licensing regime for exchanges and miners under the Central Bank of Turkmenistan, while prohibiting crypto payments and banning anonymous wallets. No licensed local exchange has yet emerged, foreign platforms are not authorised under the regime, and the state's tight currency and internet controls mean the practical status remains unclear for ordinary buyers.
