Is bitcoin legal in Western Sahara?
Western Sahara has no crypto rules of its own. In the Moroccan-administered areas that cover most of the territory, Morocco's framework applies in practice: the 2017 prohibition on crypto transactions declared by the Exchange Office, Bank Al-Maghrib, and the AMMC has never been formally repealed, though Bank Al-Maghrib's draft Bill 42.25, published in November 2025, would legalize and regulate the market. Beyond Moroccan control there is effectively no financial regulation at all, so the status is best described as unclear.
