Is bitcoin legal in Tajikistan?
Bitcoin is not banned in Tajikistan, but it is not meaningfully regulated either. The National Bank of Tajikistan does not recognise cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, has warned about their risks, and keeps the banking system out of the sector; officials have acknowledged the absence of proper crypto rules. The Ministry of Digital Technology began drafting licensing requirements in 2023, but no framework has come into force, leaving buyers without local protection.
