Where this comes from
Derived from Bitpanda's help-centre article Countries supported for verification, read on 6 September 2026. It is an inclusion table of 46 ticked countries and territories, and the page treats it as complete: it tells the reader to check the list to see if their country is supported, says verification is only possible in certain countries for regulatory reasons, and names Argentina, absent from the table, as a country where verification is not available. 42 of the 46 names match this site's roster; Aland Islands, Faroe Islands, Svalbard and Jan Mayen and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus have no roster page, so every other roster country counts as unsupported. Two footnotes qualify rows without removing them: France is ticked but phone numbers from overseas France (DOM-TOM) are not accepted, even though Reunion carries its own tick, and the United Kingdom is ticked with a note that UK residents can once again register through Bitpanda Broker UK Ltd. The companion article Who can use Bitpanda? and the User Agreement dated 8 July 2026 add that anyone based in the United States, or a citizen of it or of a country under UN, EU, US or UK sanctions, cannot open an account. The list here is derived from https://support.bitpanda.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013898239-Countries-supported-for-verification, read on 6 September 2026.

Is bitcoin legal in Ukraine?
Buying and holding bitcoin is legal in Ukraine, but the dedicated framework is unfinished. The law On Virtual Assets was signed in March 2022 yet never took effect because it depends on tax code amendments; in September 2025 the Verkhovna Rada approved at first reading draft law 10225-d, which would activate the regime with the National Bank of Ukraine among the regulators and proposes taxing crypto income at 18 percent plus the military levy, with a transitional preferential rate. Until adoption, exchanges serve Ukrainians without local authorization.
