Togo is a UMOA member and uses the CFA franc issued by the BCEAO. The BCEAO created a committee to develop a regional crypto-asset framework, indicating regulatory work in progress rather than authorisation for VASPs or platforms. Togo's Ministry of Finance rejected a false invitation to cryptocurrency-investment sessions using its name. BCEAO-authorised payment institutions are not automatically authorised crypto providers. No individual crypto-tax rule was found: verify directly with the authorities.
