Pakistan has a hostile regulatory environment for cryptocurrency. The State Bank of Pakistan has prohibited financial institutions from facilitating crypto transactions, and the government has considered outright bans. Despite this, Pakistan has high informal crypto adoption, ranking among the top countries for P2P crypto volume. The SECP has explored blockchain regulation but no licensing framework exists for exchanges.

Tunisia restricts cryptocurrency activities. The Central Bank of Tunisia has not authorized any crypto exchanges, and foreign exchange regulations effectively prohibit crypto transactions. Tunisia's strict capital controls make legal crypto trading very difficult. Despite restrictions, some Tunisians access crypto via P2P platforms and VPNs.
