How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Libya
Buying cryptocurrency in Libya
The country’s central bank deemed virtual currencies illegal due to high risks of using them as a front to carry out criminal activities and law violations like money laundering and terrorism financing, and that no amount of legal protection or security will be granted to anyone using them or trading with them. However, citizens of major conflict zones are slowly looking to cryptocurrencies as assets while their values continue to rise drastically. Online searches for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin in Libya, Syria and Palestine, have drastically increased. A social charting network for investors and traders, Tradingview, gathered information on the popularity of cryptocurrencies worldwide. Data from 27m search inquiries from 100 million users from November 2020 to January 2021 showed that countries ranking lower on the Human Freedom Index seem more interested in virtual assets than their more developed counterparts. Libya, with 42.2%, featured in the top five.
