Is bitcoin legal in Tuvalu?
Bitcoin is legal in Tuvalu by default: no legislation addresses cryptocurrency, and the country has no central bank to issue restrictions, using the Australian dollar instead. The government has engaged with blockchain technology, announcing a national digital ledger project in 2020 to move state records onto a public ledger, but that project concerns government infrastructure, not bitcoin trading. Buyers rely wholly on the rules and protections of the offshore platforms they use.
