How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Turkmenistan

Buying cryptocurrency in Turkmenistan

Buying cryptocurrency in Turkmenistan The country of Turkmenistan, located in Central Asian, seems to have a significant lack of information regarding cryptocurrencies. When we google cryptocurrencies in Turkmenistan or use of Bitcoin in Turkmenistan, not a lot of concrete information regarding their legal status or regulation shows up in the results. Not even a statement regarding the stance of the country�s central bank could be found. The only available information relevant to this topic can be found in a response to a thread on a Russian mining forum. The opening poster wanted to know if it was possible to buy crypto in the country. The answer was that even the-over-counter or OTC markets barely exist in the region. Apparently, virtual currencies like Bitcoin can only be purchased using U.S. dollars. This proves to be quite problematic, as the government has been actively trying to restrict access to foreign currencies for citizens and local companies.
