In 2024, enforcement intensified with provincial bans and public denouncements. Underground P2P trading persists despite the crackdown.

Yemen has a restrictive environment for cryptocurrency due to ongoing conflict and fragmented governance. The Central Bank has warned against crypto use. International sanctions further restrict access.
