Geo-Restrictions for Airdrops
Airdrops in the cryptocurrency world often come with geo-restrictions to comply with legal and security requirements. Here's why:
1. Regulatory Compliance: Some regions have strict crypto regulations.
2. Sanctions: Countries under international sanctions are restricted from receiving airdrops to comply with global trade rules.
3. Risk Management: Restricting participation from regions associated with high financial crime helps prevent fraud and money laundering.
4. Legal Ambiguity: Some countries lack clear crypto laws.
5. Efficiency: Geo-restrictions help streamline distribution by focusing on compliant regions.
