The Central Bank of Sudan (CBOS) issued strong risk warnings against crypto in 2022, but no formal legal ban exists. Crypto is unregulated rather than prohibited: peer-to-peer trading is not illegal, mining is restricted, and crypto cannot be used for invoice payments. The country operates in a regulatory vacuum amid ongoing civil war; a FinTech Bill expected in Parliament by late 2025 may introduce formal VASP licensing in 2026.
