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 Palestine?
There is no Palestinian law that clearly permits or prohibits bitcoin, so its status is unclear. The Palestine Monetary Authority, which supervises banks in the West Bank and Gaza, has warned against dealing in virtual currencies and licenses no crypto business, while the territories use the Israeli shekel and neighboring currencies rather than money of their own. In practice trading happens person to person at the user's own risk, with banking access, especially in Gaza, badly disrupted by conflict.
