Furthermore, the bank has warned citizens of Oman that cryptocurrency users, holders and traders expose themselves to the possibility of financial, legal, security-related and operational risks and that they do so at their own responsibility. Even though the government discourages users from purchasing Bitcoin, it doesn�t prohibit it. While some countries have decided to recognize cryptocurrencies, Oman is yet to do so. Oman has seen developments in terms of blockchain technologies. As a matter of fact, the country has witnessed a number of changes in digital transformation.

Other concerns stem from uncertainty on whether or not these digital tokens are in compliance with Sharia.
