Access Map

Where a person can buy ZEC through a venue that answers to a regulator, and how much of humanity that covers. Countries are graded by policy, not by whether a VPN works. This is a hand-maintained estimate that we re-check monthly.

Open
A resident can open an account at a licensed venue in their own jurisdiction — or a global venue that formally serves it — and trade ZEC with fiat on-ramps.
Partial
ZEC is reachable, but only through offshore venues, peer-to-peer markets, or with withdrawals disabled; or a delisting mandate is scheduled (the EU's 2027 privacy-asset rule is the big one).
Restricted
Crypto trading is banned outright, or privacy assets specifically are barred from every licensed venue. Enforcement varies; policy is what we grade.
