About this guide and how we work

CryptoGeorgia.guide is an independent resource about crypto in Georgia — the country on the Black Sea, not the US state. It’s written for people who want to actually do something: buy their first USDT in Tbilisi, cash out in Batumi, understand what the National Bank allows, or pay for an apartment without breaking the rules. The site is published in Georgian first and in English second, and both versions carry the same facts.

Why this site exists

Most of what turns up in search results about crypto in Georgia is either a generic “how to buy Bitcoin” article with the country name swapped in, or a sales page for a single service. Neither tells you which providers are on the National Bank’s register, which ATMs will buy crypto back for cash, or why a developer can’t simply accept USDT for a flat. We wanted one place that answers those questions with local detail and sends you to the original documents so you can check them yourself.

How we research

Every page starts from primary sources wherever they exist:

• Regulators and laws — the National Bank of Georgia (nbg.gov.ge), including its register of virtual asset service providers; the legislative herald (matsne.gov.ge); the Revenue Service (rs.ge); the National Agency of Public Registry (napr.gov.ge).
• Companies’ own pages — fee schedules, terms, licence pages and ATM lists published by the exchanges, ATM operators and payment networks we describe.
• Official registration numbers — when we say a company is registered with the NBG, we give the number from the register and the version of the register we used.

Secondary sources — news articles, law-firm summaries, other guides — are used for context and are labelled as such in the text.

When a fact can’t be verified

Crypto in Georgia moves fast, and plenty of businesses don’t publish their fees or limits. When we can’t confirm something from a primary source, we say so plainly: “the operator doesn’t publish its fees”, “users report…”, “we could not confirm…”. We would rather leave a gap than fill it with a guess. Numbers in our calculators are illustrative unless a page says otherwise, and live rates come from public sources (CoinGecko for crypto prices and the National Bank of Georgia for the official lari rate).

Keeping pages current

Rules, fees and registers change. We re-check pages against their sources when a regulator publishes something new, when a new version of the NBG register appears, and when readers tell us something has changed. Each page lists the sources it relies on at the bottom, so you can see exactly where a figure came from. If you spot something out of date, the contact page explains how to tell us.

Independence and money

The site is free to read and has no user accounts. We don’t sell placements, reviews or rankings, and no company can pay to be described more favourably or to have a fact removed. We don’t crown any service “the best” — we lay out what each one does in Georgia and let you decide.

Nothing here is financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Please read the disclaimer and our privacy policy, and if you’re new to the subject, the crypto glossary and the guide to buying crypto in Georgia are good places to start.
