Uganda

Legal
Restricted

Paraguay has no specific comprehensive crypto law. President Abdo vetoed a crypto regulation bill in 2022. The BCP does not recognize crypto as legal tender. VASPs must register with SEPRELAD for AML compliance since 2020. Paraguay is a significant crypto mining hub due to cheap hydroelectric power from the Itaipu Dam, though bills to restrict mining due to energy theft have been debated.

Uganda restricts cryptocurrency. The Bank of Uganda issued a 2022 circular (NPSD 306) barring licensed payment service providers from facilitating crypto transactions. A 2023 High Court ruling upheld the circular, declaring cryptocurrencies illegal under the National Payment Systems Act 2020. No crypto exchanges are licensed to operate. Informal P2P crypto activity exists despite restrictions.
