Is bitcoin legal in Nauru?
Bitcoin is legal in Nauru, and the country jumped from no framework to one of the Pacific's most defined: the Command Ridge Virtual Asset Authority Act 2025, certified in June 2025, established the CRVAA as a dedicated regulator that licenses exchanges and other virtual asset service providers. Crypto is treated closer to a commodity than a security under the act, and it is not legal tender. The regime is young, so licensed local services remain scarce and most buying still happens on foreign platforms.
