Is bitcoin legal in Mayotte?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Mayotte, which is a French overseas department and part of the European Union. Exchanges serve the territory under the EU's MiCA regulation, with France's Autorite des Marches Financiers (AMF) supervising crypto-asset service providers as the national transition from the older PSAN registration regime completes on 1 July 2026. French tax law applies in Mayotte, so capital gains on crypto sales by individuals must be declared like anywhere else in France.
