High-net-worth individuals, often leveraging offshore accounts, are increasingly utilizing these digital asset-linked cards to fund luxury lifestyles. Observers have noted a surge in usage at high-end restaurants and exclusive venues across the country. $BTC

While Tunisian Point of Sale (POS) terminals strictly process the local Dinar, these international cards automatically exchange cryptocurrency into fiat currency during the transaction.
This process facilitates an indirect shadow economy where digital assets are consumed for local services without traditional currency exchange barriers.
However, this phenomenon has caught the attention of national tax authorities.
Officials are now scrutinizing the regulatory loopholes that allow this indirect consumption to bypass standard fiscal monitoring.
As the gap between digital wealth and local regulation widens, the government is reportedly evaluating new frameworks to address these offshore-linked spending habits.
This developing story underscores the growing complexity of monitoring decentralized finance within a traditionally controlled economic environment.
