Oman has moved to regulate cryptocurrency with the Capital Market Authority issuing a Virtual Assets Regulatory Framework in 2023. VASP licensing is being implemented, and Oman has attracted crypto mining operations due to its energy resources. There is no personal income or capital gains tax in Oman.

Turkey has one of the highest crypto adoption rates globally, driven by lira depreciation and high inflation. While crypto ownership is legal, the CBRT banned crypto payments in April 2021. In 2024, Turkey passed comprehensive crypto legislation under the Capital Markets Law amendment, giving the CMB authority to license and regulate crypto asset service providers. No crypto-specific tax exists yet, though legislation is under consideration. MASAK (Financial Crimes Investigation Board) oversees AML compliance.
