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 Mali?
Mali has no law that bans or regulates bitcoin, so individuals may buy and hold it legally by default. The country uses the CFA franc and falls under the BCEAO, the central bank of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, which has warned that crypto assets are neither currency nor regulated financial products and says a regional regulatory framework is still in preparation. Until that framework arrives there is no licensed local venue and no consumer protection.
