The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe says trade and usage of bitcoin for transactions in the country have not been legalized despite a surge in prices and values for the popular crypto-currency.
Bitcoin trade values on the only crypto-currency exchange platform, Golix had surged to $1 million for the month of October. On Tuesday, bitcoin prices on the Zimbabwean bitcoin exchange peaked at $14490 in morning trade on Tuesday against world averages of around $8000.
Regional news blog TechZim reported Tuesday that Zimbabwe’s central bank declared that bitcoin isn’t yet legal in the country. The central bank justified this position, saying it was still carrying out studies into the crypto-currency.
