“Algeria recently enacted a sweeping new law that criminalizes any form of use, exchange, or mining of cryptocurrencies. The move is reportedly intended to protect the national financial system and bolster defenses against money laundering and terrorist financing. … the issuance, purchase, sale, possession and promotion of digital currencies is prohibited. The law also criminalizes the creation or operation of cryptocurrency trading platforms and the use of digital wallets — whether directly or via third parties or online services. These activities are now officially classified as financial offenses directly linked to money laundering and illicit capital flows.” (07/30/25)
