Morocco intends to legalize all cryptocurrencies following the 2017 ban on digital assets.

Reuters has reported that Bank Al-Maghrib, Morocco's central bank, has drafted a bill to regulate cryptocurrencies, which is currently under review.

Adellatif Jouahri, governor of the central bank, has revealed the draft law is in the process of being approved.

The countrywide ban on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, implemented in November 2017, has only been partially successful, as a significant part of the population still holds digital assets.

In addition to legalizing cryptocurrencies, Morocco's central bank is also exploring the possibility of creating a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
