What the law actually says

Is Virtuals Protocol trading legal in Myanmar?

Myanmar bans crypto through licensing and currency law, and it backs the ban with criminal penalties. The Central Bank of Myanmar issued Notification 9/2020 on 15 May 2020 with the stated purpose of preventing the financial loss that arises when members of the public use and trade digital currencies inside the country. Paragraph 2 anchors it: the CBM is the sole issuer and manager of domestic currency under sections 40(e) and 62 of the Central Bank of Myanmar Law; section 38 of the Foreign Exchange Management Law forbids anyone from carrying on foreign exchange business without a licence; section 159 of the Financial Institutions Law forbids anyone from operating as a non-bank financial institution without a CBM registration certificate.
