Where this comes from
Derived from CEX.IO's support article listing the countries and territories it does not currently support, https://support.cex.io/en/articles/4560858-the-following-countries-and-territories-are-not-currently-supported-by-cex-io, read on 2026-09-05. It is an exclusion list: every country listed here is a sourced no, and a country absent from it is unknown rather than served. The article gives international and local regulation as the reason, and also names North Korea, which has no guide on this site and is not listed; availability by US state is covered on the state pages from the separate licence table.

Is bitcoin legal in Belarus?
Bitcoin is legal in Belarus under Decree No. 8 on the development of the digital economy, signed in December 2017, which legalized crypto ownership, mining, and exchange activity within the Hi-Tech Park regime. The state channels activity tightly: individuals are expected to trade through exchanges registered with the Hi-Tech Park, and authorities have pushed since 2023 to outlaw informal P2P trading, citing fraud. Western sanctions on Belarusian banks separately complicate payments to foreign platforms.
