Which exchanges accept Airtel Money in Madagascar?
Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Madagascar, Paxful accepts Airtel Money for funding purchases.
Is buying bitcoin with Airtel Money legal in Madagascar?
Bitcoin is legal in Madagascar by default: no legislation prohibits or regulates it. The central bank has confirmed that cryptocurrencies are unregulated, warned the public about the risks, and studied a digital version of the ariary rather than building a crypto framework. That means no local licensing, no consumer protection, and no legal recourse if a platform or counterparty fails, so the practical safeguards are choosing reputable offshore platforms and self-custody.
