Jordan's financial regulators are tightening oversight of digital asset trading with legislation that imposes criminal penalties for unauthorized crypto operations. The VIRTUAL Currency Trading Law of 2025, set to take effect 90 days after official publication, excludes central bank digital currencies from its purview.
