Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Gibraltar?

Bitcoin is legal in Gibraltar, which was the first jurisdiction with a bespoke licensing regime for blockchain firms: the DLT provider framework, run by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) since January 2018. The framework was consolidated in the Financial Services (Distributed Ledger Technology Providers) Regulations 2020 and extended in October 2025, when exchanging virtual assets became a formally regulated virtual asset arrangement activity requiring GFSC permission.
