Global Cryptocurrency Regulatory Landscape

In this note, we have discussed three categories of countries on the basis of their approach to regulating cryptocurrency- (a) countries that have legalized cryptocurrency by regulating it; (b) countries that have proposed to regulate it, and (c) countries that have banned cryptocurrency. We have discussed a few examples of countries for each category to demonstrate that most progressive jurisdictions fall in the first two categories. The countries that have banned cryptocurrency are generally discussed for their regressive economic and social policies, and India may not want to be a part of that club. In tables A and B to this blogpost, we have discussed many other jurisdictions across the abovementioned three categories.
