Is Monero trading legal in Côte d'Ivoire?

Côte d'Ivoire has no crypto law, and the region is still deciding. Monetary and prudential authority sits with the BCEAO, the central bank shared by the eight UEMOA states, and its own inventory of the texts governing financial stability in the Union runs through monetary policy, banking, payment systems, microfinance, external financial relations, anti-money-laundering, electronic money and payment services without a single instrument on crypto-assets.

What the contract is

A perpetual on XMR tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.
