Regulatory Framework
The Virtual Assets Law took effect on 1 January 2026. It regulates mining, issuance, initial offerings, and virtual-asset service providers, including exchanges. Virtual assets are not a means of payment, currency, or security in Turkmenistan. The Central Bank is the competent authority to regulate and supervise these activities; exchange operators require a licence and state registration. The law also says the State is not responsible for virtual-asset loss or depreciation. Verify a provider's current registration and licence before using it.
