Is bitcoin legal in Burkina Faso?
Burkina Faso has no law that bans or regulates bitcoin. The country belongs to the West African Economic and Monetary Union, so financial rules come largely from the regional central bank, the BCEAO, which licenses fintech and payment firms but has not yet built a crypto framework, leaving exchanges unlicensed and unsupervised. That grey zone means buying is not illegal, but there is no local regulator to turn to if a platform fails or a trade goes wrong.
