  In the Bahamas, the reporting requirements for cryptocurrency transactions are governed by the Financial Transactions Reporting Act (FTRA) and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). Individuals and businesses engaged in cryptocurrency transactions are required to adhere to these regulations. The FTRA mandates that any transaction involving the transfer of cryptocurrency must be reported to the FIU. This includes both domestic and international transactions. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements may result in penalties or legal consequences. It is important to consult with a legal professional or tax advisor to ensure full compliance with the reporting obligations.
