Can you clarify which specific countries are currently blocked from accessing OKX, the popular cryptocurrency exchange platform? I'm curious to know if there are any geographical restrictions that might prevent users in certain regions from trading or accessing their services. Additionally, I'm wondering if there are any plans for OKX to expand its reach and remove any existing blocks in the future.

Belgium is another country that has fully banned the use of cryptocurrencies, citing concerns about money laundering and terrorist financing. The country's regulatory framework prohibits the exchange of cryptocurrencies for fiat currency and restricts their use in various financial transactions.

Japan, once a major hub for cryptocurrency trading, has also tightened its regulations in recent years. The country's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has imposed stricter requirements on cryptocurrency exchanges and has increased oversight to prevent money laundering and other illicit activities.
