Regulation Timeline

Regulatory Framework
BRH states that no cryptocurrency has legal tender in Haiti. A 2025 BRH financial-literacy publication says Haiti has no cryptocurrency legislation. BRH research and publications address crypto, fintech, and risks, but they do not constitute provider licensing or authorisation for crypto payments or remittances. Exchanges, P2P, and remittance routes are not recommended without a current official source; confirm requirements directly with BRH and tax authorities.
