Cyprus regulates crypto under the EU MiCA framework (fully applicable since December 2024). CySEC authorizes crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) while the Central Bank of Cyprus oversees e-money tokens and asset-referenced tokens. Crypto gains from occasional transactions are currently not taxed; active trading is taxed as income at 0-35%. A proposed 8% flat tax on crypto gains is pending parliamentary approval for 2026.

Jordan restricts cryptocurrency use. The Central Bank of Jordan has issued multiple warnings against crypto use and prohibits banks and financial institutions from dealing in it. The JSC does not recognize crypto as a financial instrument. However, private ownership is not explicitly criminalized.
