Jurisdictional Ban

Definition

A jurisdictional ban signifies a legal or regulatory prohibition imposed by a specific government or authority on certain activities or assets within its territorial boundaries. In the digital asset sector, this typically refers to a country or region outlawing or severely restricting the use, trading, or issuance of cryptocurrencies or related services. Such bans are enacted to address concerns like financial stability, capital flight, consumer protection, or national security. A jurisdictional ban can significantly alter the operational landscape for digital asset businesses.
