Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Trading in Oman


Oman is not one of the first countries to come to mind when one thinks of Bitcoin. The truth is, Bitcoin does not have a big influence in Oman one way or the other. While the government discourages citizens from buying Bitcoin and other digital currencies, it does not prohibit it.


how to buy bitcoin in oman

That being said, it's still quite easy to buy Bitcoin if you want it.

One of the easiest ways to buy Bitcoin in Oman is through cryptocurrency exchanges, outlined above. There are several exchanges offering Bitcoin in Oman, allowing you to select one based on your requirements and preferences using our list outlined above. Different exchanges have different transaction fees, withdrawal limits, payment modes, and verification processes that need to be kept in mind before users select one.

Additionally, Bitcoin buyers need to keep in mind that certain exchanges might require you to get a wallet of your own before being able to buy the digital currency. Even if there is no requirement, it is recommended to have a wallet of your own for security reasons (preferably a hardware wallet).

Exchange Hacks and Crypto Scams in Oman


Email Scam wanting a Bitcoin payoff

In September 2021, the Oman Daily Observer reported that an email scam was requesting payment in bitcoin. The targeted individuals were told there was compromising material about them that would be released if they did not pay $1,900 in bitcoin.

Hassan Ali al Ajmi, an Omani specialist in cybercrime and disaster management, said he had been contacted by many of the individuals that received the threatening email. He cautioned the recipients against giving in to the demands of the crooks, because aside from bits of personalized data in the email that could probably be found publicly and few out-of-date passwords the rest of the email was largely a cut-and-paste format that has been used by many scammers.(2)

Other than that, we could find no exchange hacks or significant scams affecting Oman or its citizens. We will update this page if/when any news of scams or exchange hacks occur in Oman.
