Crypto regulation comparison
Haiti
Kuwait
No Regulation
Restricted
Haiti has no cryptocurrency regulation. The central bank has not issued specific guidance on crypto. Political and economic instability has limited any regulatory development.
Kuwait has taken a restrictive approach to cryptocurrency.

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.
