How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Jordan
Buying cryptocurrency in Jordan
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not welcomed with open arms in Jordan. The Jordanian government has a very strict stance against Bitcoin and similar currencies in this country. The Central Bank of Jordan strictly prohibited banks, currency exchanges, and financial companies from using Bitcoin and digital currencies in their business operations. Hence, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by low and they are not considered to be digital money at all. Although cryptocurrencies in Jordan were banned entirely at one pint, the citizens can still buy and sell Bitcoin from crypto exchanges that are available in the country. There’s not much you can do with Bitcoin in Jordan, since it is not recognized as a legal currency. However, you can use it in online transactions with global services that do allow for this type of payment. The most popular cryptocurrency exchange available in Jordan is Coinbase.
