Is bitcoin legal in Lesotho?
No Lesotho law bans buying or holding bitcoin, so it is legal by default, but the official stance is cold. The Central Bank of Lesotho has publicly warned that cryptocurrencies are not legal tender in the Kingdom, that they fall outside its regulatory scope, and that users have no recourse to the Bank for losses. It has also cautioned that crypto activity can touch exchange control, tax, and anti-money-laundering laws, and that crypto investment schemes may breach capital markets rules requiring licensed advisers.
