Is buying bitcoin with NZD bank transfer legal in New Zealand?

Bitcoin is fully legal in New Zealand, where courts have recognized crypto as property. There is no bespoke crypto statute: the Financial Markets Authority applies existing financial markets law, and crypto service providers must register as financial service providers and meet AML obligations. Inland Revenue taxes crypto as property, meaning gains are taxable income when coins were acquired for disposal, and the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework took effect from April 2026 under the Taxation Act 2025, giving IRD visibility into exchange activity.
