Frequently asked questions

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Kiribati, Coinmama, Binance, Kraken accept Credit or debit card for funding purchases.

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

Kiribati has no legislation that addresses bitcoin, so buying and holding it is legal by default rather than by design. There is no licensing regime, no domestic exchange, and no local regulator supervising crypto platforms, which means any dispute with a foreign exchange plays out entirely under that platform's own terms. The government has watched regional developments cautiously without committing to a framework of its own.
