Where this comes from
Derived from Coinmama's restricted countries and states page, https://www.coinmama.com/support/restricted-countries-and-states, 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 page also names New York and Louisiana, which the state pages cover, and territories without a guide on this site (Abkhazia, Crimea, Northern Cyprus, South Ossetia, the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and North Korea), which are not listed. Nine of the countries on the page (Belarus, the Central African Republic, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Palestine, Somalia, South Sudan, Venezuela and Zimbabwe) were ranked in this site's guides until 2026-09-07, when those rows were removed on the strength of this page: the operator's own list decides availability.
What is actually allowed in Afghanistan
Cryptocurrency is banned in Afghanistan. Da Afghanistan Bank, the central bank, declared crypto trading forbidden in August 2022, and police in Herat shut down local crypto dealerships and arrested traders that same month. The ban remains in force, there is no licensing framework, and sanctions on Taliban-controlled institutions keep regulated foreign platforms out of the market entirely.
