Egypt bars crypto at the level of the activity itself, and the bar sits in banking law. The Central Bank of Egypt states that the Central Bank of Egypt and the banking sector Law No. 194 of 2020 prohibits issuing, trading or promoting cryptocurrency, creating or operating platforms for trading it, and carrying out any related activities, with imprisonment and a fine of between EGP 1 million and EGP 10 million for a violation. Because the prohibition reaches trading platforms and "any related activities", a leveraged product written on a crypto asset does not escape it: there is no separate Egyptian regime under which perpetual futures or crypto CFDs could be offered to retail clients, and the derivative would itself be a related activity.
The contract itself does not change by geography: a ONDO perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
