Moldova

Restricted
No Regulation

Morocco's central bank (Bank Al-Maghrib) banned cryptocurrency transactions in 2017, making it illegal for financial institutions to process crypto payments. Despite the ban, Morocco has one of the highest crypto adoption rates in Africa. The government has been exploring a potential regulatory framework, with Bank Al-Maghrib reportedly studying a CBDC and reconsidering its crypto stance.

Moldova currently has no specific cryptocurrency legislation. The National Bank warns that virtual currencies are unregulated and user funds are not protected. Ownership and trading are legal but use as payment is prohibited. Moldova plans to introduce its first crypto law by 2026, aligned with EU MiCA regulation, including a 12% tax on crypto profits.
