Crypto Assets' survival map in the world: 51 countries say NO

The latest data shows that 51 countries and regions around the world have taken action against Crypto Assets. Among them, the most severe are 9 countries that have imposed an “absolute ban”:

Hard prohibition zone 9 countries: Algeria, Bangladesh, China, Egypt, Iraq, Morocco, Nepal, Qatar, Tunisia. In these countries, even holding one BTC is illegal, let alone trading.

Hidden Ban on 42 Countries: Kazakhstan, Turkey, Indonesia, Nigeria, Lebanon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, etc. These countries do not impose a direct ban but prohibit banks and exchanges from participating—essentially cutting off your access to deposits and withdrawals.

Why are these countries so vigilant?

• Financial Security: Concern about the impact of Crypto Assets on financial stability
• Currency Sovereignty: Feels that this thing threatens the status of the national fiat currency.
• Capital controls: Prevent money from flowing out
• Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorism: On-chain traceability issues
• Social Issues: Concerns about public investment losses or resource waste

Interestingly, the countries with the strictest bans are often developing countries— they have a stronger desire for control over financial order. In contrast, some developed countries have chosen regulation instead of prohibition, such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan, all of which are contemplating how to regulate this new field.

Summary: Crypto Assets are now like a global political issue—each country makes decisions based on its financial strategy and risk preferences. If you want to play with coins in a certain country, you need to first take a look at the policy direction there.
