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.

Qatar has a restrictive stance on cryptocurrency. The Qatar Central Bank banned crypto trading and services in 2018, and the QFC Regulatory Authority (QFCRA) prohibits virtual asset services within the Qatar Financial Centre. However, Qatar has shown interest in blockchain technology for non-crypto applications and is exploring a potential CBDC. The Qatar Financial Centre issued a Digital Assets Framework in 2024 focused on tokenized real-world assets, not cryptocurrencies.
