Tynwald will consider proposals to change legislation to pave the way for e-currencies in March.
The Proceeds of Crime Act 2008 has been earmarked for amendments to include the Island's adoption of bitcoin and other digital currencies as a means of diversifying the economy.
It's an attempt to bring the Island's 20 digital currency businesses - employing 30-35 professionals - under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing law.
It will go forward alongside the Designated Businesses Bill 2013.
