Israel's crypto sector struggles with regulatory, banking, and tax barriers that drive talent and companies abroad, risking significant economic loss if reforms are not enacted quickly. Proposed legislation stalled since 2023 aims to create a supportive framework for crypto, contrasting with clearer and more supportive US policies.

Israel’s policymakers are the gatekeepers of your crypto startup’s market access. The stalled reforms mean your choice is clear—move operations abroad or fight to open the local market now.
