How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for the quality of a country's crypto regulation. 100 means a very clear, practically usable and effectively supervised framework; 0 means a ban, an almost complete grey area or a framework that is not practically usable.

The calculation combines six blocks: licensing and supervision of crypto service providers count for 25%, anti-money-laundering rules and the FATF originator-and-beneficiary information rule 20%, market integrity and customer protection 20%, rules for stable crypto-assets and issuers 15%, practical enforceability 10%, and regulatory usability 10%.

FATF lists act as plausibility caps. High-risk countries subject to a call for action cannot rank highly because AML and sanctions friction override the practical framework. Countries under increased FATF monitoring are visibly constrained even where some crypto rules already exist.

Broad trading, ownership or service-provider bans create a hard cap. A country cannot score well through high crypto adoption or isolated technical infrastructure if the legal framework practically blocks crypto or prevents providers from operating reliably.

For countries and territories without complete direct coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. They are checked against FATF, IOSCO and FSB standards, national supervisory sources, the European MiCA framework, regional peers, legal status and existing Nomadino finance indicators.

Crypto adoption, bitcoin merchant acceptance, bitcoin cash access, crypto taxation, banking secrecy, banking stability and general fintech quality are not directly included. These topics have separate indicators and are used here only as plausibility support where direct regulatory evidence is missing.

The score equals the raw value. A higher raw value therefore improves the ranking.
