How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Morocco
Buying cryptocurrency in Morocco
Four years after Morocco banned crypto, the country’s central bank is reconsidering its stance on virtual currencies. Despite the ban in 2017, their popularity continued to grow in Morocco. Bank-Al-Maghrib (BAM), the central bank of Morocco, couldn’t deny the appeal of cryptocurrencies and recently formed an exploratory committee to research the possible benefits of a cryptocurrency run by a central bank. So, while Bank-Al-Maghrib continues to practice caution when cryptocurrencies are involved, its exploratory counterpart will look into whether or not this institution could develop its very own cryptocurrency. Having in mind the fact that China’s central bank is already making progress with its digital yuan which could eventually grow to challenge the dollar, several central banks are considering this Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The new committee has set out to identify and analyze the pros and cons of this CDBC, along with the possible effects on Morocco’s economy.
