The Union of the Comoros has no dedicated legal framework governing virtual assets or VASPs. Commercial commentary continues to report fabricated Ministry-of-Finance-branded virtual-asset licences circulating alongside island-level (Anjouan/Mwali) claimant licensing bodies not recognised by the Union government.

  1. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No Comorian instrument establishes a licensing, registration or notification requirement for crypto-asset service providers; GIABA's 2024 Mutual Evaluation Report records that virtual asset activity has not been reported in the Union of the Comoros and no competent authority has been designated to supervise it.retrieved M5non-bindinga fact about the regime
  2. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No own-funds, minimum-capital or insurance-in-lieu requirement for crypto-asset service providers exists in Comorian law, because no CASP licensing category has been created.retrieved M4non-bindinga fact about the regime
  3. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No administrative fine, criminal offence or publication-of-measures provision specific to unauthorised crypto-asset-service provision exists; general AML/CFT enforcement under Law 12-008/AU and Act 21-004/AU of 29 June 2021 applies to designated financial institutions (banks, credit institutions, MFIs, MVTS, EMIs) but not to a crypto-specific obliged-entity class.retrieved M4non-bindinga fact about the regime

#

No Comorian statute or regulatory guidance differentiates crypto-asset sub-types (security token, e-money token, asset-referenced token, utility token, stablecoin, NFT). The regulatory vacuum documented for licensing extends to classification: without a VASP/issuer framework, there is no legal trigger requiring the state to classify token types.

  1. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — Comorian law contains no statutory or regulatory taxonomy distinguishing security tokens, e-money tokens, asset-referenced tokens, utility tokens, stablecoins or NFTs; all crypto-assets remain legally unclassified in the absence of any VASP/issuer framework.retrieved M3non-bindinga fact about the regime

#

No Comorian instrument addresses staking, DeFi lending, DEX operation, mining, node operation, validation or tokenization. These activities fall outside the current BCC supervisory perimeter, which is scoped to licensed banks, credit institutions, MFIs, MVTS and EMIs.

#

No issuance-authorisation, reserve, redemption-right, disclosure or systemic-designation regime for stablecoins, e-money tokens or asset-referenced tokens exists in Comorian law. No evidence of any national EMT/ART framework analogous to MiCA Title III/IV or EMD2 was found.

  1. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No Comorian instrument establishes an issuance-authorisation, reserve-asset, redemption-right or disclosure regime for stablecoins, e-money tokens or asset-referenced tokens; this follows from the general absence of any virtual-asset legal framework documented in the 2024 GIABA Mutual Evaluation.retrieved M3non-bindingour coverage gap, expected to resolve on a re-run

#

No crypto-specific custody/safekeeping, marketing/promotion, complaint-handling, suitability, market-abuse or order-handling-and-conflicts regime exists in Comoros. The BCC's general consumer-alert function was exercised once in November 2019 with a public warning about a pyramid-type scheme, but the underlying GIABA assessment does not identify a crypto-specific consumer-protection instrument, custodian/technology-vendor distinction, or market-abuse prohibition analogous to MiCA Title VI.

Sources and findings (5)
  1. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No Comorian instrument defines a licensed custody/administration service for crypto-assets, distinguishes a custodian from a technology vendor, or imposes client-asset segregation, insolvency-treatment, return-of-assets or liability-cap duties on crypto custodians.retrieved M5non-bindingour coverage gap, expected to resolve on a re-run
  2. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No crypto-specific market-abuse regime (insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information, market manipulation) exists in Comorian law; no prohibitions analogous to those found in comprehensive crypto-asset regimes were located.retrieved M4non-bindingour coverage gap, expected to resolve on a re-run
  3. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No Comorian law establishes an approval route, risk-warning requirement, cooling-off period or influencer-labelling rule for crypto-asset promotions and advertising.retrieved M3non-bindingour coverage gap, expected to resolve on a re-run
  4. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No crypto-specific complaint-handling procedure, response deadline, or ombudsman-access right exists in Comorian law; the only documented consumer-facing supervisory action found is a November 2019 Central Bank of the Comoros public warning concerning a pyramid-type scheme, which was not crypto-specific.retrieved M3non-bindinga fact about the regime
  5. T1 · GIABA / FATF Global NetworkGIABA / FATF Global Network — No Comorian instrument imposes best-execution, inducement or conflicts-of-interest duties on entities handling crypto-asset client orders.retrieved M3non-bindingour coverage gap, expected to resolve on a re-run

No crypto-specific tax guidance (capital gains, income tax, VAT/GST, withholding or reporting obligation) was located for Comoros in this research pass. This is a distinct gap from the AML/VA-regime finding, since fiscal law was not covered by the GIABA Mutual Evaluation and no Comorian tax-authority source was identified or reachable in this pass.

No Comorian law imposes a crypto-specific outbound restriction, sanctions nexus, reporting threshold or cross-border travel-rule obligation. GIABA's 2024 assessment states directly that Comoros is not an international financial centre or company-incorporation hub, in tension with the commercial reputation of Comorian-incorporated entities (e.g., via the Anjouan/Mwali registries) used by offshore forex/crypto brokers; the Monetary Authority of Singapore's 2025 action against an entity purportedly incorporated in the Union of the Comoros illustrates the resulting cross-border enforcement risk for host-country regulators rather than a Comorian domestic restriction.

  2. T1 · Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) — No Comorian law restricts outbound crypto/forex-related financial services; however, the Monetary Authority of Singapore's 2025 action blocking access to Octa, operated in part by an entity 'purportedly incorporated in the Union of Comoros', illustrates that Comoros-incorporated entities have operated unlicensed cross-border financial platforms without a home-country supervisory nexus.retrieved M3non-binding

AML/CFT treatment of virtual assets is out of scope for this crypto baseline per the crypto-FIM subscription boundary (financial_integrity owns aml_ctf). Disambiguation context only: GIABA's 2024 Mutual Evaluation found that the BCC is the AML/CFT supervisor for the financial sector generally (banks, credit institutions, MFIs, MVTS, EMIs) under Law 12-008/AU and Act 21-004/AU, but that no competent authority has been designated for virtual-asset/VASP supervision specifically, and that Comoros should conduct sector-specific ML/TF risk assessments of virtual assets. As of the FATF's 13 February 2026 and 19 June 2026 statements, Comoros is not currently on the FATF 'grey list' of jurisdictions under increased monitoring.

Provenance and declared absence

Disclosure model: module cards load OPEN; standing positions render in full; sub-briefs and jurisdiction briefs load as a clamped teaser with an explicit “read full” control carrying the true word count; earlier updates stay collapsed behind a counted summary. No text is hidden without disclosing how much of it there is.

Sentinel-fed modules receive no special rendering treatment. sentinel_feed is an attribution chip only: it does not suppress content, does not generate an absence reason code, and does not exclude the module from any count, filter, search index or export on this page.

Family taxonomy is renderer-level presentation config, not a JID field. Colour is always duplicated in text and is never the sole carrier of meaning.

Suppressed by doctrine: derived risk score; per-module RAG traffic light; derived_scores = {}.

Band honesty: uncertainty bands are computed against a frozen build clock of 2026-10-20. A year-precision row is never promoted into a tighter band.

Orphan deltas: 0 cycle_delta row(s) target non-module objects and are listed in the rail rather than attached to a card.

Envelope: baseline resolved at jurisdiction_json.baseline; 8 module(s), 15 finding(s), 7 source(s) in the cumulative register.
