Regulation Timeline
2022

Regulatory Framework
BEAC documentation describes the April 2022 Central African law and a revised version presented in 2023, so the 2022 episode must not be presented as a current blanket authorisation. The same source confirms that COBAC Decision D-2022/071 prohibits supervised institutions and their payment-service technical partners from subscribing to, holding, using, exchanging, or converting crypto assets. Confirm the current national rule and do not present providers as authorised without a current source.
