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 Honduras?
Owning and trading bitcoin is legal for individuals in Honduras, but the financial system is walled off from it. The National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBS) issued a resolution effective February 2024 prohibiting supervised institutions from maintaining, investing in, or intermediating cryptocurrencies. There is no licensing framework for exchanges; separately, the Prospera special economic zone on Roatan recognizes bitcoin within its own jurisdiction.
