The Virtual Assets Act 2023 has been in force since 25 July 2023, and the Bank of Namibia licenses, regulates, and supervises virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and initial token-offering service providers. Virtual currencies do not have legal-tender status; acceptance for goods and services depends on the parties. The Bank publishes virtual-asset rules and explains that provisional authorisation does not permit operations until a full operational licence is granted. Verify each entity's current status through Bank sources before using it.

Treatment to verify
SEC rules cover virtual-asset service providers, exchanges, custodians, and offering platforms. The SEC directory includes registered operators and incubation-program participants; verify current status and do not confuse programme participation with final registration. CBN guidelines govern how banks and other institutions relate to VASPs, but do not permit banks to hold, trade, or transact in virtual currencies on their own account.

Review date for each country guide
