Is buying bitcoin with Airtel Money legal in Gabon?
No Gabonese law prohibits individuals from buying or holding bitcoin. Gabon belongs to the six-country CEMAC zone, where the regional banking regulator COBAC banned supervised banks, microfinance institutions, and payment providers from facilitating crypto transactions in May 2022, and the regional central bank BEAC has stayed hostile to crypto. There is no licensing regime for exchanges, so all activity runs through foreign platforms and informal channels without local protection.
