Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Republic of the Congo?

Individual ownership of bitcoin is not criminalized in the Republic of the Congo, but the formal financial system is closed to it: COBAC, the banking commission of the CEMAC zone, prohibited banks, microfinance institutions, and payment providers from handling crypto in 2022. At the regional level the markets regulator COSUMAF has been developing a licensing framework for virtual asset service providers, so regulated access may gradually replace today's informal, phone-based market.
