How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Kyrgyzstan

Buying cryptocurrency in Kyrgyzstan

Buying cryptocurrency in KyrgyzstanAs the citizens of Kyrgyzstan become more and more interested in cryptocurrencies, and as technology rapidly gains global popularity, the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan believed that it is crucial to first diminish the risks associated with them. More recently in 2020, the Bank has issued draft legislation which would define the legal status of cryptocurrency and how it could be properly used in this Central Asian nation. With this legislation draft, the central bank is rallying with the Financial Action Task Force’s efforts to regulate cryptocurrencies and, hopefully, prevent high risks of money laundering and terrorism financing. Under this proposal, property rights of those who own cryptocurrency would be protected by courts. Any company or individual entrepreneur, unless registered as a cryptocurrency operator or miner, should not under any circumstance accept cryptocurrency as a method of payment for goods and services, nor in the form of investment and savings deposits.
