How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Dominican Republic

Buying cryptocurrency in Dominican Republic

Buying cryptocurrency in Dominican Republic In the Dominican Republic, financial institutions are collectively banned from using all kinds of cryptocurrencies in transactions. In contrast to this, individuals are still allowed to use them, keeping in mind the government's warning to be extra cautious and careful when dealing with cryptocurrencies due to their high risk and unpredictable nature. There are businesses starting to accept them as a method of payment and there are even Bitcoin ATMs available in the Dominican Republic. CEX.IO, counting over three million users, is considered the most popular exchange where citizens of the Dominican Republic can buy cryptocurrencies. The verification process itself is quite expensive, making it one of the safest exchanges worldwide. The Dominican Republic's government hasn't shown interest in actually regulating cryptocurrencies, meaning altcoins won't be regulated for a long time. Citizens can still continue using them at their own risk though. Overall, the country's stance on cryptocurrencies is quite controversial.
