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 Libya
Cryptocurrency is banned in Libya. The Central Bank of Libya prohibited dealing in digital currencies in 2018, citing money laundering and consumer protection risks, and has never licensed any exchange or payment provider to handle them. Enforcement is real and has intensified: security services have dismantled mining farms, arrested dozens of people including foreign nationals, and courts have handed down prison sentences for mining operations.
