Myanmar
Libya has a restrictive stance on cryptocurrency. The Central Bank of Libya has warned against crypto use. Political instability and a divided government complicate any regulatory development.
Myanmar's Central Bank issued Notification No. 9/2020 prohibiting the sale, purchase, and exchange of unregulated digital currencies. Violations are prosecuted under the Anti-Money Laundering Law and Financial Institutions Law with penalties including imprisonment and fines. Despite the ban, underground stablecoin usage persists, particularly USDT.
