Sudan Central Bank warns crypto users to avoid using crypto as economic crisis continues

In a crisis, the central bank acts as a stabilising force. Residents dealing with cryptos in Sudan have been cautioned that they face a variety of risks, including the loss of value. Sudan is in the midst of an economic crisis that has intensified since the military toppled the civilian administration.

The central bank of Sudan warns residents from using or trading cryptos as the country’s currency continues to depreciate, according to a report. It cautioned that anyone dealing with crypto assets face dangers such as value loss, financial crimes, and electronic piracy.

The Central Bank of Sudan (CBOS) issued the warning amid a deteriorating economic crisis, with Sudan’s exports falling by 85% in January. The report imply that the pound, the nation’s currency, is slowly decreasing on the illicit market versus the dollar. Sudanese inhabitants’ rising interest in cryptocurrency is said to be a result of the country’s poor economic situation.

The CBOS, however, has cautioned that residents engaging with cryptocurrency face legal dangers, according to Sudan News Agency. Such concerns, according to the central bank, derive from cryptocurrencies’ failure to be classified as “money or personal money and property” under the country’s regulations.

Other concerns, according to the research, derive from their “lack of material cover” as well as their issue by illegal or unaccredited authorities. The article did not say if Sudan’s military government, which took power in October 2021, intends to adopt new legislation punishing Sudanese citizens who ignore the national bank’s warning.
