In fact, cryptocurrency trading is still illegal in Morocco, so it is illegal to buy or sell crypto with a bank account or bank card or by directly depositing a MAA. However, Binance and other crypto platforms offer a P2P approach which means trading person-to-person, without any issues with authorities. Also Binance CEO visited Morocco last summer maybe bank accounts and credit cards will be accepted soon. We hope so because many young people start crypto businesses despite being banned by the Moroccan authorities.
