Is bitcoin legal in San Marino?
Bitcoin is legal in San Marino, which regulated blockchain businesses early through Delegated Decree No. 37 of February 2019, covering token issuance and registration with anti-money laundering obligations. San Marino is not in the EU, so the EU's MiCA regulation does not apply directly, but the Central Bank of San Marino has signaled its intention to align national rules with MiCA standards. Individuals face no restrictions buying or holding bitcoin.
