## About

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in March 2026 found the homepage and signup work, but identity verification returns a legal restriction error that blocks trading, deposits and withdrawals.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-28 — Investigated. A community volunteer tested KuCoin from inside Syria: the homepage and email signup work, but identity verification fails with a "451 Unavailable for legal reasons" error, blocking trading, deposits and withdrawals. The mobile app is also unavailable on Google Play. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/gywibu6a8623885h1aug0afy/w4pqjptnghqxd8rncd2jwf53-screen-1.png)

## 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.
