Is buying bitcoin with Israeli bank transfer (ILS) legal in Israel?

Bitcoin is legal in Israel and regulated as an asset rather than currency. Exchanges, brokers, and custodians need a license from the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority, while the Israel Securities Authority oversees the investment side and approved an arrangement letting non-bank Tel Aviv Stock Exchange members offer bitcoin trading in August 2024. The Israel Tax Authority treats crypto as property, with capital gains tax of about 25 percent for individuals, and banks apply strict anti-money-laundering checks to crypto-linked funds.
