Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan

Partially Regulated
Legal

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%.

Kazakhstan has a dual approach to crypto regulation. The Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) operates as a regulated sandbox where licensed crypto exchanges can operate under AFSA supervision. Outside the AIFC, crypto regulation is more restrictive. Kazakhstan became a major mining hub after China's ban but has since tightened mining regulations.
