Laos permits cryptocurrency trading through licensed platforms (LDX, Bitqik) issued by the Bank of the Lao P.D.R., but the framework is highly restrictive. While trading is technically legal, the government plans to cut electricity supply to crypto miners starting Q1 2026 to prioritize other sectors. The central bank has explicitly stated cryptocurrencies are not legal tender and cannot be used as official payment tools, and it warns investors about unregulated foreign platforms.
