Is buying bitcoin with KWD bank transfer legal in Kuwait?

Kuwait prohibits virtually all virtual asset activity. In July 2023 the Capital Markets Authority issued Circular No. 10 of 2023 declaring an absolute prohibition on major virtual asset operations including payments, investment, and mining, with parallel circulars from the Central Bank of Kuwait, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and the Insurance Regulatory Unit, and no licenses are issued. Enforcement is real: authorities ran a wide crackdown on unlicensed crypto mining in April 2025.
