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.

Venezuela has a unique crypto history. The government launched the Petro (PTR) state cryptocurrency in 2018, backed by oil reserves, though it was widely considered a failure and discontinued. SUNACRIP regulates crypto activities and has licensed mining operations. Venezuelans have high crypto adoption due to hyperinflation, with USDT widely used as a de facto currency. Crypto mining requires a SUNACRIP license.
