Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept Orange Money in Madagascar?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Madagascar, Paxful accepts Orange Money for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with Orange 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.
