Crypto Brokers in Egypt, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Egypt has no licensed retail forex/CFD industry. The FRA supervises non-banking financial activities under Law 10/2009, but OTC retail FX falls outside its mandate. EGX-listed securities are accessible via licensed local brokerages. International CFD brokers — Exness, FBS, AvaTrade, HotForex — onboard Egyptian residents via offshore entities; the CBE's foreign-exchange controls have tightened progressively since 2022 amid the EGP devaluation, restricting outbound retail FX flows.

Tax

Personal income tax for Egyptian residents is progressive up to 27.5%. Capital gains on EGX-listed equities are subject to a 10% rate (suspended for residents until further notice as of 2026). Profits from offshore brokers are taxable as foreign-source income but enforcement is limited; the Egyptian Tax Authority focuses on remittance flows above EGP 1 million through banking channels.

Retail trading rules

No domestic leverage cap because no retail OTC FX is authorised. Offshore providers commonly offer 1:500 to 1:2000 to Egyptian clients. CBE foreign-exchange controls cap retail outbound FX at USD 5,000 per month per individual through authorised banks (effective 2024); larger transfers require business documentation. USDT funding via cryptocurrency rails has become a primary workaround for offshore broker funding.
