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 Yemen
Yemen has no crypto legislation, but the practical environment is severely restricted. Years of civil war have split the central bank between Aden and Sanaa and crippled the banking system, while US sanctions target Houthi financial networks, including designated cryptocurrency addresses and, in April 2025, the International Bank of Yemen. Regulated global exchanges exclude Yemeni residents almost universally, rejecting Yemeni documents, bank rails, and IP addresses to manage sanctions risk.
