Jordan enacted Law No. 14 of 2025 (the Virtual Assets Dealing Law), effective 14 September 2025, establishing the country's first comprehensive legal framework for virtual assets. The Jordan Securities Commission (JSC) is the primary regulator, responsible for licensing all VASPs. Four license categories exist: platform operators, custodians, brokers, and financial services providers. AML/CFT compliance including Travel Rule and STRs to the FIU is mandatory. The CBJ's earlier blanket ban on institutional crypto dealing has been superseded; banks may now offer crypto services with CBJ pre-approval. Implementing Regulation No. 94 of 2025 sets detailed licensing fees and capital requirements.
