The Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) supervises all foreign-exchange and cross-border monetary flows under the 1976 exchange-control code, and unauthorised crypto-asset transactions (purchase, sale, exchange conversion) fall outside any BCT-authorised channel, making them treated as unauthorised/prohibited in practice. A draft crypto-regulation bill has circulated in the Assembly of the Representatives of the People but is not enacted law.",
