Bitcoin access is restricted in Iran
Bitcoin access is restricted in Iran, and Coinmama does not serve residents of Iran either: Iran is on the list of restricted countries that Coinmama itself publishes, quoted below with the date it was read. Holding bitcoin is not itself criminalised in Iran, but the environment is heavily restricted from two directions.

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 Iran
Holding bitcoin is not itself criminalised in Iran, but the environment is heavily restricted from two directions. Domestically, the Central Bank of Iran bans banks and payment providers from processing cryptocurrency transactions and has repeatedly moved against rial on-ramps, while licensed mining operates under a state framework. Internationally, comprehensive US and EU sanctions mean nearly every regulated global exchange excludes Iranian residents and blocks Iranian IP addresses, KYC documents, and bank rails.
