Is bitcoin legal in the Gambia?
No Gambian law prohibits buying, holding, or selling bitcoin. The Central Bank of The Gambia has issued no licensing framework for crypto businesses and has warned the public about the risks of digital currencies while saying it monitors the sector. That leaves bitcoin legal but entirely unregulated: platforms serving Gambian users are foreign companies supervised elsewhere, and there is no local recourse if something goes wrong.
