Bangladesh does not tolerate crypto at any layer, and the prohibition is built on foreign-exchange law. Bangladesh Bank's FE Circular No. 24 of 15 September 2022 states that the definition of "currency" in section 2(b)(i) of the Foreign Exchange Regulation (FER) Act, 1947 does not recognise virtual currencies, and that they are neither approved foreign exchange nor an approved form of transaction or investment under sections 2(aa) and 2(bb) of the same Act. On that footing the circular declares that any transaction made in, from or to Bangladesh for obtaining virtual assets or virtual currencies is not permitted, and that providing any facilitation for business, activities or operations associated with their exchange, transfer or trading is likewise not permitted.
