Is bitcoin legal in Senegal?
No Senegalese law prohibits buying or holding bitcoin, but none regulates it either. Financial supervision belongs largely to the BCEAO, the central bank of the eight-country West African monetary union, which licenses payment and e-money firms under its 2024 fintech instruction yet has not created a crypto framework, though it has hosted regional work on how to regulate crypto-assets. Exchanges serving Senegal therefore operate without local authorisation, and users have no domestic recourse if one fails.
