Crypto Brokers in Bangladesh, 2026
Tracked byIndependent review teamUpdated
Bangladesh's Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) regulates DSE/CSE listed equities and licensed local brokerages — IDLC Securities, Lanka Bangla Securities, BRAC EPL, City Brokerage. BSEC does NOT licence retail OTC FX/CFD providers; Bangladesh Bank explicitly classified cryptocurrency trading as illegal in 2014 (reaffirmed 2017) and treats offshore retail FX as a foreign-exchange violation under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act 1947. International brokers operate without legal sanction; banking-channel funding is heavily restricted.

Personal income tax for Bangladeshi residents is progressive 5-25% (top bracket on income above BDT 1.5 million). Capital gains on listed equities are exempt for individuals. Offshore broker profits are nominally taxable as 'other income' at progressive rates, but enforcement is limited; the NBR (National Board of Revenue) focuses on registered remittance flows above BDT 1 million through banking channels.
Bangladesh Bank foreign-exchange regulations cap individual annual outbound FX at roughly USD 12,000 for personal travel and education combined; speculative offshore trading is not authorised. Cryptocurrency trading and ICO investment are explicitly prohibited (2014 BB circular). Retail forex with offshore brokers is technically illegal under the FERA 1947 framework; despite this, USDT P2P trading and offshore broker access via crypto rails operate in a legally precarious grey market.
