## About

One of the longest-running European cryptocurrency exchanges for trading Bitcoin and digital assets

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by a community report in February 2026. The site is unreachable without a VPN, and even when reached, selecting Syria during registration returns a message that the service cannot be provided in the region, so account creation for Syrian users is refused. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-13 — Evidence Added. Community report: User from Syria confirms Bitstamp is blocked without VPN. With VPN, website loads and email registration works. Syria appears in the country list (with outdated flag) but selecting it shows "we cannot provide our services in this region." Account creation for Syrian users is refused.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
