The article does say: "Morocco’s central bank, Bank Al-Maghrib, has prepared a draft law for cryptocurrency regulation, which is currently being reviewed."
So technically this hasn't actually happened yet, but it is good news indeed.
According to what I have read, the statement is centred on giving and creating room for central bank digital currency and not crypto currency in general. Draughting a law for CBDC could also create room for crypto laws too, or it could possibly be part of the laws that are currently being reviewed.
But until then, let's watch and see, but it's a bold step and a good thing that countries are finally seeing the light on crypto currency and not just scrutinising them in the wrong direction.
it's two different decisions, aside from regulating crypto this was also mentioned in the article.
Morocco’s central bank is also exploring a potential central bank digital currency (CBDC).
CBDC is basically their central bank's version of digital currency, and now they’re also planning to legalize crypto for regulation. Both fall under digital currency rules, but they’ll probably have different sets of guidelines.
What’s exciting, though, is that crypto will soon be legal in this country, meaning people won’t have to hide their activities anymore. This move could bring a fresh boost to the crypto market overall, opening the doors for more adoption and growth.
