Is bitcoin legal in Guadeloupe?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Guadeloupe. As a French overseas department, Guadeloupe falls under French and EU law, so the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation (MiCA) governs platforms, with the AMF handling authorisation alongside the ACPR. Since July 1, 2026 crypto services in France may only be provided by MiCA-authorised providers or eligible notified financial entities, which ended the old national DASP transitional regime.
