Could you elaborate on the legality of cryptocurrencies in Zambia? I've heard conflicting reports about the country's stance on digital assets. Some sources suggest that the Bank of Zambia and the Security Exchange Commission are currently exploring means to regulate cryptocurrencies, indicating a potential recognition of their legitimacy. However, others mention proposed legislation aimed at regulating social media and cybercrime, leaving me uncertain about the status of cryptocurrencies specifically. Could you clarify the current legal status of cryptocurrencies in Zambia?

Despite this, there have been some regulatory measures taken by the Zambian authorities in relation to cryptocurrencies. In 2018, the Zambia Securities and Exchange Commission issued a warning to all cryptocurrency exchanges operating in the country.
