Is buying bitcoin with Jamaican bank transfer legal in Jamaica?

Buying and holding bitcoin is legal in Jamaica, but no crypto exchange is yet licensed there. The Bank of Jamaica has repeatedly cautioned that cryptocurrencies are not legal tender and that holders bear the risk themselves. Regulation is moving: in June 2026 the Financial Services Commission opened public consultation on a proposed licensing regime for virtual asset service providers, covering exchanges, custodians, brokers, and wallet providers.
