Is bitcoin legal in Benin?
There is no law in Benin that bans or regulates bitcoin, so buying and holding are legal by default. Benin belongs to the West African Economic and Monetary Union, where financial supervision sits largely with the regional central bank, the BCEAO; it licenses payment and e-money firms but has not built a crypto framework, though it has hosted regional work on how to regulate crypto-assets. No exchange holds any Beninese authorization, so there is no local recourse if a platform fails.
