Georgia treats owning and trading crypto as lawful and puts its regulation on the businesses. Since the National Bank of Georgia took the sector under supervision, anyone providing a virtual asset service in the country must be registered with it: exchange between crypto and fiat (explicitly including via kiosks), transfers, custody, portfolio management, running a trading platform, lending and initial coin offerings all count as virtual asset services. The National Bank stated on 7 October 2025 that under the Organic Law on the National Bank of Georgia it is strictly prohibited for anyone not registered as a VASP, and not otherwise an authorised financial sector entity, to provide virtual asset services — and it extended that explicitly to the Free Industrial Zones, which had been used as a workaround.
A perpetual on GRASS tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.
