Iraq has banned cryptocurrency dealings. The Central Bank of Iraq issued a directive in 2017 prohibiting banks, financial institutions, and exchange companies from dealing in cryptocurrency. Despite the ban, some underground and peer-to-peer crypto trading reportedly persists.

South Sudan has no specific cryptocurrency regulation. Political instability and very limited infrastructure make crypto regulation a non-priority.
