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.

Payment methods
Bank transferVisaMastercardFawry
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.
