Is bitcoin legal in Puerto Rico?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Puerto Rico, which as a US territory falls under US federal law: FinCEN registration for money services, SEC and CFTC oversight of markets, and IRS tax treatment of crypto as property. The island's own draw is Act 60, which exempts bona fide residents from tax on capital gains accrued after establishing residency, a benefit under active IRS scrutiny, particularly around gains that accrued before the move.
