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 Cuba
Bitcoin is not banned in Cuba. The Banco Central de Cuba recognized virtual assets through Resolution 215 of 2021 and set conditions under which it may license virtual asset service providers, and in March 2026 it authorized certain small private businesses to use crypto for international payments. The practical constraint comes from outside: the US embargo means nearly every regulated global exchange refuses Cuban customers, identity documents, and IP addresses, leaving ordinary Cubans with peer-to-peer trades.
