Crypto laws by country

Whether crypto is legal, who regulates the exchanges, how it is taxed, and what is about to change. Every entry cites a primary source — the regulator, the legislature, or the tax authority — and carries the date we last checked it.

Not legal advice. General information only, not legal advice. Crypto law changes quickly and varies within jurisdictions. Verify with a qualified local lawyer before acting. Each statement carries its primary source and the date we last reviewed it.
