I find it pretty hard to make sense of what's written in this article. After reading it, I still don't know whether you can or cannot hold or trade crypto in Bangladesh, and whether statements from their central bank are only recommendations or are they interpretations of existing laws and are legally binding.


This literally says that you can't hold any cryptos but it's not a criminal offense if you trade them 

To be fair, it's probably not the author of the article who's to blame, but just Bangladeshi regulatory mess.
