Estimated context (not comparable)
Blue and est. indicate a legacy estimate without a verifiable official source. It never creates a winner, bar, or ranking.
The Reserve Bank of Vanuatu states that the vatu is the sole legal tender and advises against accepting Bitcoin payments because of the risks. That notice does not publish a list of authorised crypto providers or establish a general licence. Do not turn a visible brand or the 2017 notice into proof of current authorisation: confirm the regulatory scope and provider status directly with the competent authority.

Treatment to verify
Virtual asset service providers must be registered with AUSTRAC before providing services in Australia. AUSTRAC publishes VASP obligations and the register; registration does not replace your assessment of a provider.

Review date for each country guide
We show only regulatory and tax claims with local primary guidance and a current review. Adoption metrics require a national source for each figure.
Each visible claim links to its official country source. Adoption links are assigned to the exact metric, not the entire profile.
Each guide shows its next review date. Always confirm your residence, activity, and transaction with the authority or a local professional before filing.

It is an editorial summary of linked primary regulatory guidance. If a current review is unavailable, we show Verify rather than infer a status.
