Is bitcoin legal in Guatemala?
Bitcoin is legal to buy and hold in Guatemala, but it is unregulated. The Banco de Guatemala has warned since 2017 that cryptocurrencies are not legal tender, are not backed by the state, and leave users carrying all the risk, and the quetzal remains the only legal currency. A bill to create a crypto framework, Initiative No. 6538, was presented to Congress in June 2025 but has not become law, so there is no licensing regime or consumer protection today.
