## About

Global cryptocurrency exchange for trading, staking, and DeFi services

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by a community report in February 2026 that showed a "Restricted location" notice and Syria greyed out during account creation. A community volunteer contacted the company in February 2026, citing the easing of sanctions, but no response has been recorded. No resolution yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-16 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer sent an outreach email to OKX at help@okx.com and support@okx.com requesting restoration of access for users in Syria. The email referenced the 2025 OFAC General License and EU sanctions lift.
- 2026-02-16 — Verified. Community report confirmed that OKX blocks users in Syria. When searching for Syria in the country/region selector during account creation, it appears greyed out with "not available" label. The app also displays a "Restricted location" popup stating: "We're sorry, OKX Exchange products aren't available because of local laws and regulations." Testing was done from a Syrian IP on Android without VPN.

## 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.
