The BCE and JPRM joint notice from August 2024 states that cryptoassets are not legal tender or an authorized electronic means of payment nationwide. According to the notice, using or simulating unauthorised means of payment is prohibited, and the BCE may notify the Attorney General's Office of identified cases. The source is not a register of authorised platforms, so we do not list local exchanges.
