Mozambique has no comprehensive crypto-asset licensing statute or dedicated VASP framework. The Bank of Mozambique's (BM) foreign exchange licensing regime treats real-time trading of cryptocurrencies on foreign-domiciled virtual platforms as unauthorized and at the trader's own risk, while explicitly stating that domestic promotion/intermediation of such activity via Mozambique-registered domains does not itself trigger a BM authorization requirement. No crypto-specific registration, licensing, or exemption category exists.

Mozambican law provides no taxonomy distinguishing security tokens, e-money tokens, asset-referenced tokens, stablecoins, utility tokens, or NFTs. Bank of Mozambique communications refer to crypto-assets generically as 'cryptocurrencies' without a legal classification schema.

No Mozambican law or Bank of Mozambique regulation specifically addresses on-chain activities such as staking, DeFi lending, DEX operation, mining, node operation, validating, or tokenization. This is an unaddressed regulatory gap rather than a prohibition.

No stablecoin-specific issuance authorisation, reserve requirement, redemption right, disclosure, or systemic-designation regime exists under Mozambican law. Bank of Mozambique's cautionary statements treat all crypto-assets, including stablecoins, generically as non-legal-tender virtual assets outside any dedicated framework.

Banco de Moçambique operates a general financial consumer protection and market-conduct framework (Notice No. 9/GBM/2020) covering credit institutions, financial companies, and other BM-supervised entities, but this does not extend to unlicensed crypto-asset platforms. BM's cautionary statement that crypto trading on foreign virtual platforms is undertaken 'at the risk of those who practice it' functions as the de facto consumer risk disclosure for crypto-assets.

No crypto-asset-specific tax legislation or guidance has been located from Mozambican tax authorities. General provisions on capital gains, income tax, VAT, and withholding have not been confirmed to extend explicitly to crypto-asset transactions.

Cross-border crypto-asset flows are addressed only indirectly through Mozambique's general foreign exchange and capital-control framework. The current Foreign Exchange Law (Law No. 28/2022, of December 29, which replaced the former Law No. 11/2009, of March 11) empowers Banco de Moçambique to monitor capital operations and combat capital flight, but no crypto-specific outbound restriction, sanctions-nexus, reporting-threshold, or cross-border travel-rule provision has been enacted.

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.
