Is it possible to buy cryptocurrency in Uzbekistan? Can I use it?

All crypto-assets in Uzbekistan must be licensed and operated on a crypto-exchange opened in early 2020. Exchange participants can only sell previously acquired crypto-assets to foreign users.

It is not possible to buy crypto-assets on the stock exchange - the organizers explained this by the low financial literacy of the population. It is a crime to trade bypassing a crypto-exchange.

 

Tariffs are available, legalization is not.
Because purchases are prohibited, cryptocurrencies can only be acquired through ‘may’. In the spring of 2020, an electricity tax was introduced in the increased tariffs for miners.

The legalization of May's activities was supposed to be based on the creation of the Uzbekistan Cryptocurrency Mining Pool program as part of compulsory membership, but the relevant documents have not yet been adopted.
