Ethiopia has no crypto framework, and the central bank says so itself. In a public notice dated 27 February 2026 the National Bank of Ethiopia told the public that under the current regulatory framework Birr-paired peer-to-peer arrangements on trading platforms, exchanges or similar services are not permitted unless the Bank explicitly authorises them, and that any form of Birr-denominated P2P trading or exchange involving cryptocurrencies is prohibited. Read carefully, that is a prohibition on the rail: nothing makes ownership or offshore trading of spot crypto an offence, and the Bank's own wording is about arrangements on platforms and about the Birr leg of them.
The contract itself does not change by geography: a SUI perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
