Angola’s National Assembly recently approved legislation aimed at addressing the environmental impact of cryptocurrency mining and safeguarding the country’s “monetary sovereignty.” The purpose of this legislation is to curb illegal activity by preventing bad actors from using cryptocurrencies to launder money. Furthermore, since crypto-assets do not fall under the regulatory scope of the National Bank of Angola, the law ensures that Angolan users have legal avenues to seek redress in the event of digital currency-related disputes.
