How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Kuwait

Buying cryptocurrency in Kuwait

Buying cryptocurrency in Kuwait The Ministry of Finance in Kuwait doesn�t recognize using cryptocurrencies for official commercial transactions. Likewise, the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) has prohibited its umbrella banking sectors and companies from cryptocurrency trading. Even though the citizens of Kuwait have been warned of the volatility of cryptocurrencies, they can still purchase Bitcoins from supported exchanges. One of these exchanges is BitOasis, a cryptocurrency exchange focused on catering to the Middle East. It is based in Dubai and it is considered one of the best exchanges for those residing in the Middle East, due to its low fees and security. Unlike in some countries, Bitcoin mining in Kuwait can turn out to be quite profitable due to Kuwait�s low electricity prices, just 0.008 Kuwaiti Dinars per kWh ($0.026). This is way lower than in most countries. As far as Bitcoin ATMs go, there isn�t a single one in Kuwait, which is unfortunate.
