Regulatory Framework
The 2018 joint statement from the National Bank of Cambodia, SERC, and National Police says that fundraising promotion and buying, selling, trading, or settlement of cryptocurrencies without a competent-authority licence can be penalised under applicable law. SERC publishes a digital-asset provider list, but you must check that the provider, activity, and status remain current. The statement does not prove that holding is free of consequences or authorise a specific platform.
