Bosnia and Herzegovina has no comprehensive crypto legislation. The Central Bank warns crypto is not legal tender and banks cannot convert crypto to BAM. Crypto trading is legal. A 2024 AML law designates VASPs as obligated entities. Republika Srpska gave crypto legal status as digital records of value in 2022. Corporate tax on crypto is 10%.

Kuwait has taken a restrictive approach to cryptocurrency. The Central Bank of Kuwait and the Capital Markets Authority have prohibited banks and financial institutions from processing crypto transactions. There is no licensing framework for crypto exchanges. However, owning crypto is not explicitly illegal, and there is no personal income tax in Kuwait, so no crypto-specific tax applies.
