FATF reports continuing gaps in implementation of Recommendation 15 and the Travel Rule; FSB reports uneven implementation across jurisdictions and continuing regulatory change.
ORNX.PRO / RESEARCH LABORATORY / DECISION BRIEF
Crypto market entry: jurisdiction × function × partner.
A practical screen for choosing where and how to test a digital-asset proposition without confusing a country list with a launch plan.

The strongest entry thesis is usually a bounded function with a clear responsible partner, not a broad promise to enter ‘crypto’.
Compare the function, customer, regulated perimeter, data path, partner controls, exit route and evidence needed in each candidate market.
Rules change by function and jurisdiction; this brief is a screening tool and does not replace local legal or compliance advice.
Use this brief to decide what evidence, control and written approval are required before the next irreversible step.
