Regulation Timeline
2022
COBAC Decision D-2022/071 restricted crypto-asset operations for supervised CEMAC institutions.
Official source for these events: BEAC: CEMAC payment-services report describing COBAC Decision D-2022/071 (supports: regulatory status, regulatory framework, regulatory timeline) · BEAC: CEMAC framework work on crypto assets and FinTech (supports: regulatory framework, regulatory timeline)
Regulatory Framework
Official BEAC CEMAC documentation states that COBAC Decision D-2022/071 prevents supervised institutions and their payment-service technical partners from subscribing to, holding, using, exchanging, or converting crypto assets for themselves or third parties. That regional restriction does not prove a blanket prohibition for every individual, but it also does not support presenting providers as authorised. BEAC is coordinating development of a regional legal and regulatory framework; confirm national requirements before acting.
