Very different sir.
You can trade crypto in China, but it cannot be used as a replacement to its currency. This means that you can't use it to purchase goods.....In fact, a little research shows that you can buy and sell crypto in Ecuador. Apparently, Nigeria has one of the tightest restriction on crypto.

It would be nice to do thorough research to avoid misleading people.

China is still among the top countries with highest number of Crypto hodlers till date.

Banning and restricting are not same man.

When Something is banned, it becomes illegal, not allowed,

Restricting Something is allowed, but limited to it.


Cryptocurrency is not banned but restricted in almost all the countries you listed including Nigeria. The reason is not far fetched.
