Is bitcoin legal in Laos?
The legal status of bitcoin in Laos is genuinely unclear. A September 2021 pilot program authorized licensed cryptocurrency mining and trading, and the Bank of the Lao PDR licensed two domestic platforms, but the central bank has repeatedly warned the public against using cryptocurrencies and the pilot has stalled, with the government moving in 2025 to cut electricity to miners. No rule clearly authorizes or forbids individuals buying on foreign exchanges, so proceed with caution.
