How many countries has already legalised Crypto?

[nizelong]

As far as I know, Japan, Russia, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, and Switzerland have legalized cryptocurrencies, and some countries are considering whether to accept cryptocurrencies!

[Fuhre]

What I like best is Japan, they are moving forward a few steps from other countries, of course it is an advantage for them to enjoy something extraordinary and very well managed without conflicts that can give effect to other countries, there is already trying to start legalizing it but not yet perfect still in the stage of negotiation and development, one day we can feel the positive effects of legality globally, it takes a lot of time to follow the previous country.

As far as I know, big and influential countries are adopted the cryptocurrency market. Our country is also in the state of observation whether the cryptocurrency is going to be fully adopted or what. It did not mention if it includes putting taxes but so far, we are looking forward that the government will make the right decision.

Japan, on April 2017 began to be known as digital money. The United States, is becoming one of the largest cryptocurrency in the world. Denmark, not only in terms of its sophisticated technology but the most intense country in encouraging the elimination of cash using digital currency. South Korea, not surprisingly South Korea is rapidly embracing bitcoin as both investment and payment and money exchange. Finland, also a country that has already exempted the purchase of bitcoin. Indonesia, there is still a lot of talk about this digital currency

I know Venezuela has released their first currency. Iran also accepts mining coin

[asyakashi]

I heard Iran has legalized bitcoin transactions, this is very good and some traders are looking for local exchangers to conduct arbitrary trading.
I am sure that this is very beneficial for me not to analyze further whether this trade is safe.

I want to know about countries which is developing Crypto.

You know what today there are a lot's of countries legalized the used of cryptocurrency because they probably think that cryptocurrency will really help them in their economic status. Some countries just only adapt it because they know it will become useful in the future. But though lots of them accept the used of it still there are a lot's of countries who didn't tolerate it. They instead banned it in their country.

As far as I know, Japan, Russia, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, and Switzerland have legalized cryptocurrencies, and some countries are considering whether to accept cryptocurrencies!

As far as I know, the president of Uzbekistan has recently issued a decree that makes crypto trading and exchanging legal in the country. Mining is also legal in Uzbekistan.
Australia and New Zealand are also crypto-friendly countries.

The legal status of bitcoin varies substantially from country to country and is still undefined or changing in many of them.Whereas the majority of countries do not make the usage of bitcoin itself illegal, its status as money (or a commodity) varies, with differing regulatory implications. While some countries have explicitly allowed its use and trade, others have banned or restricted it. Likewise, various government agencies, departments, and courts have classified bitcoins differently. While this article provides the legal status of bitcoin, regulations and bans that apply to this cryptocurrency likely extend to similar systems as well. These are some of legalized countries.

Probably more than what you think , in philippines we can buy&sell bitcoin when ever we wanted to , we can do it even on our local 7/11 shops
but we kinda pay a luxury 5% fee each time we buy or sell , that is the only downside tho

In Venezuela they are beginning to move the petro, certain entities

[Muzika]

here in my country the government is neutral in the talk about the cryptocurrency, now I want to know what are some legal rules that government put out so that the participants,investors,teams and anything about crytocurrency are protected and secured by the government.

The important matter is what do you mean when say 'legalized'
As i know, in Japan cryptocurrency was legalized as valuable assets, but not like an alternative money. The same also happened in some states of USA, but it was as a court precedent, not like a law. But again, they determined BTC as valuable assets, a basis for a taxation, but not like an alternative money in parallel to US dollars.
 On my opinion governments&politicians may speak a lot about such legalization, but all of this will remain words only, never a cryptocurrency will be legalized as the money in any country. Because any government will not accept a decentralized money those are out of their control. Otherwise they just will kill themselves by such legalization.
 Of course, in some countries, for instance in Venezuela mentioned above, they can try to create such a currency that looks like a crypto, based on blockchain technology, called as 'crypto', etc. But for sure it will be not a real cryptocurrency, because it will be centralized, controlled by government.
 So no way for a crypto legalization. Cryptocurrency is the next level of money evolution, created especially in order to destroy&replace the existing financial system. So no way to integrate it in that old system, they are absolute antagonists.

Now governments are studying and discussing cryptocurrencies.Countries will slowly supervise them.And I hope that cryptocurrencies will be accepted by more and more countries.

as far as I know the most pro-crypto country is Japan, which has received bitcoin and Singapore also receives crypto even in Singapore, the transaction of goods has been using crypto

[CryptoPowerL]

I very often see news that some state approved the use of cryptocurrency. This is very encouraging. It is thanks to such assistance from states that many more followers of Satoshi Nakamoto's idea become.

[Clif4d]

In Africa, I think South Africa and Kenya are allowed to use Cryptos in shops

[Trimzi]

Very interesting topic. Legalising cryptocurrency is just one step to another world of economics and daily life.
I hope to see that world soon.

I think it's around ten to fifteen county, you can google it for the exact information. But here is a wiki page link for a list of countries with crypto information that will show where it is legal where not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country_or_territory Hopefully, your country in green list here, but if no don't worry. I'm sure more countries will make it legal by 2020.
