Crypto regulation comparison
Haiti
Tanzania
No Regulation
Partially Regulated
Haiti has no cryptocurrency regulation. The central bank has not issued specific guidance on crypto. Political and economic instability has limited any regulatory development.
Tanzania's regulatory stance on crypto is evolving. The Bank of Tanzania warned against crypto in 2019, but the 2024 Finance Act introduced a 3% withholding tax on digital asset transactions — Tanzania's first legal recognition of crypto. A December 2024 High Court ruling held that taxed crypto transactions cannot be deemed unlawful. No comprehensive regulatory framework exists yet.
