Senegal has no comprehensive national crypto-licensing regime; the applicable regulator is the regional BCEAO, which covers Senegal and seven other WAEMU/UEMOA states. BCEAO confirmed in July 2026 that a MiCA-inspired regional crypto-asset regulation remains in preparation with no publication date set. Separately, Senegal's national AML law (Loi n°2024-08 du 14 février 2024) extends reporting-entity obligations to virtual-asset service providers (PSAV), requiring them to obtain authorisation or register with a competent authority before operating — but that competent authority has not yet been designated. BCEAO's existing restriction targets WAEMU-licensed banks and financial institutions offering crypto services directly to clients; it does not prohibit private individuals or companies from holding or trading crypto peer-to-peer.

Neither BCEAO nor Senegalese national law has published a binding taxonomy distinguishing token categories (security token, e-money token, asset-referenced token, utility token, stablecoin, NFT). Crypto-assets are treated generically as non-legal-tender and unregulated pending the WAEMU crypto-asset framework under preparation.

No BCEAO or Senegalese national regulation addresses staking, DeFi lending, DEX activity, mining, node operation, validator activity, or tokenization. This remains an unregulated gap pending the WAEMU crypto-asset framework, whose drafting committee (C-CRYPTO) was announced in May 2026.

No WAEMU or Senegal-specific stablecoin issuance, reserve, redemption, disclosure or systemic-designation regime exists. BCEAO acknowledged stablecoins conceptually in July 2026 remarks but has not issued binding stablecoin-specific rules.

BCEAO has repeatedly issued public risk warnings characterising crypto-assets as volatile, cross-border, anonymous and cybersecurity-exposed, but no binding crypto-specific consumer-protection rules (marketing restriction, custody segregation, complaint handling, suitability) exist at the WAEMU or Senegal level.

Senegal has no dedicated crypto-asset tax provision. Secondary industry analysis indicates the DGID applies the securities capital-gains regime to crypto disposals by analogy, but this has not been confirmed against a primary DGID circular and confidence is capped accordingly. Standard corporate income tax (30% of taxable profit) and VAT (18% standard rate) apply to businesses conducting crypto-related commercial activity as they would to any other commercial activity.

UEMOA Règlement N°06/2024/CM/UEMOA (adopted 20 December 2024, superseding Règlement n°09/2010/CM/UEMOA) governs external financial relations for WAEMU member states including Senegal — covering international transfers, repatriation of export proceeds, domiciliation of service transactions of 20 million FCFA or more, and non-resident account rules — but contains no crypto-specific provisions. General foreign-exchange domiciliation and reporting-threshold rules apply to fiat-currency flows; no restriction specifically targets private cross-border peer-to-peer crypto-asset transfers.

Crypto AML/CFT obligations are produced under the FIM consumer's aml_ctf baseline and are not duplicated here. For disambiguation only: Senegal's Loi n°2024-08 du 14 février 2024 (transposing UEMOA Directive 01/2023/CM/UEMOA) extended AML/CFT reporting-entity obligations to virtual-asset service providers (PSAV) under FATF Recommendation 15, a genuine national-level anchor distinct from the BCEAO regional licensing gap; the competent supervisory authority for PSAV has not yet been designated.

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 2026-08-17. 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), 20 finding(s), 18 source(s) in the cumulative register.
