Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept P2P trades in Somalia?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Somalia, Binance accepts P2P trades for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with P2P trades legal in Somalia?

Somalia has no legislation banning or regulating bitcoin, and the practical status is genuinely unclear. The Central Bank of Somalia has warned the public against using virtual assets, stressing that they are not legal tender and that no financial institution in the country is licensed to deal in them. There is no licensing regime, no consumer protection, and no sign of a framework arriving soon, so users carry all the risk themselves.
