Is buying bitcoin with Debit card legal in Northern Mariana Islands?

Bitcoin is legal in the Northern Mariana Islands, a US commonwealth where federal law governs crypto activity. Exchanges serving CNMI residents follow FinCEN's money services business rules, which have applied to virtual currency exchangers since the March 2013 guidance, and federal agencies handle enforcement. There is no CNMI-specific cryptocurrency statute, and for taxes the CNMI mirrors the US Internal Revenue Code, which treats crypto as property.
