How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Tunisia

Buying cryptocurrency in Tunisia

Buying cryptocurrency in TunisiaA report saying Tunisia had issued an E-dinar started circulating in November 2019. However, the country’s central bank, the Central Bank of Tunisia, rejected such claims, stating that the bank hadn’t engaged in any relationship with a foreign or national provider for the purpose of creating a digital currency. When it comes to Bitcoins and Altcoins, they are not government-issued or bank-issued, so they don’t fall under their control. There is a lack of regulation regarding cryptocurrencies, making them a very controversial subject, but this fact doesn’t make them illegal. Until an appropriate regulatory framework is implemented, uncertainty might scare off future investors. However, the Central Bank of Tunisia did confirm that it was considering the possibility of issuing its very own central bank digital currency (CBDC). The bank also added that it was researching all existing alternatives and considering the benefits and risks that come with using these technologies.
