## About

Major cryptocurrency exchange for buying, selling, and storing digital assets

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. The team contacted Coinbase in February 2026 requesting a review of Syria access under the current post-sanctions framework, but received only an automated routing reply with no confirmation the inquiry would be reviewed. A community volunteer sent a further request in July 2026. No substantive response and no resolution yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-02-09 — Contacted Company. Outreach email sent to Coinbase at institutionalcomplaints@coinbase.com and legal@coinbase.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Coinbase under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-07-02 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Coinbase at institutionalcomplaints@coinbase.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email cited the December 2025 US Treasury announcement lifting all Syria sanctions, the OFAC sanctions programs overview, and supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources.
- 2026-02-09 — Note. Auto-reply received from legal@coinbase.com with routing instructions. The response directed legal service to their registered agent (CSC) and customer inquiries to their support portal. The email did not confirm whether the sanctions compliance inquiry will be reviewed.

## 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.
