Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept P2P trades settled by local bank transfer in Sri Lanka?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Sri Lanka, Binance accepts P2P trades settled by local bank transfer for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with P2P trades settled by local bank transfer legal in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka's status is unclear by design. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka states that cryptocurrencies are not legal tender, are unregulated, and carry no legal or regulatory protection, and it has directed banks not to facilitate crypto transactions, including blocking card payments to exchanges. Holding bitcoin is not a crime, but every on-ramp operates outside the licensed financial system. Officials have floated bringing virtual asset service providers under Financial Intelligence Unit registration, but no framework has passed.
