Is bitcoin legal in the Maldives?
The legal picture in the Maldives is murky and tilts restrictive. The Maldives Monetary Authority has stated since 2018 that cryptocurrency is not legal tender, that it has granted no party permission to conduct financial transactions in crypto, and that permits circulating on social media are bogus. No law clearly criminalizes personal ownership, but no framework authorizes it either, so individuals who buy on foreign platforms do so without any local legal footing or protection.
