Is bitcoin legal in Mali?
Mali has no law that bans or regulates bitcoin, so individuals may buy and hold it legally by default. The country uses the CFA franc and falls under the BCEAO, the central bank of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, which has warned that crypto assets are neither currency nor regulated financial products and says a regional regulatory framework is still in preparation. Until that framework arrives there is no licensed local venue and no consumer protection.
