According to the source, a new report says the Central African Republic’s crypto experiment is riddled with red flags, putting renewed focus on regulatory and liquidity risks for traders. The International Monetary Fund said in a June 2022 staff statement that CAR’s move into crypto raises major legal, transparency, and economic policy challenges, signaling elevated regulatory uncertainty for market participants. The Bank of Central African States said in May 2022, as reported by Reuters, that adopting Bitcoin conflicts with CEMAC monetary rules, highlighting potential enforceability issues for BTC transactions and fiat conversion in the region. The World Bank said in May 2022, as reported by Reuters, that it would not support CAR’s Sango crypto initiative and cited transparency concerns, implying limited institutional backing and constrained on and off-ramp development for SANGO and BTC flows. Taken together, the positions of the IMF and the World Bank indicate persistent friction for liquidity, banking integration, and cross-border settlements tied to CAR, which traders typically treat as headline risk rather than a direct driver of BTC order books.
