World Map

Plexo Institute's world map visualizes stablecoin regulation across 207 jurisdictions: 76 live stablecoin frameworks, 48 licensing regimes, 38 registration regimes, 17 bans, and 3 sandboxes — layered with 13,238 tracked regulated-entity records across 207 jurisdictions as of 15 June 2026. The entity figure covers records with a non-void recorded status across banks, payment institutions, e-money, and crypto or virtual-asset service providers; it is not a narrow VASP or CASP total. The map also tracks 24 CBDC projects (3 launched, 11 in pilot). Last verified: 28 July 2026.

Page Scope

World Map is a data map page in the data console surface. Interactive world map of stablecoin regulation — licensing regimes, adoption signals, and entity coverage across 207 jurisdictions tracked by Plexo Institute.

The World Map route is the country-level entry point for Plexo Institute data. It orients readers before they move into jurisdiction tables, showing that market coverage is organized around regulatory regime, Travel Rule posture, stablecoin framework maturity, CBDC signal, and regulated-entity coverage.

Use this page with Jurisdiction Coverage when comparing countries. The map answers where a signal sits geographically; the adjacent data tables answer which regulator, rule family, entity count, and market record support the signal.

For crawlers and LLM retrieval, the route acts as a geographic index rather than a standalone claim page. It points readers toward country profiles, source-backed regulator context, and adjacent data hubs so a market signal can be checked against its jurisdiction record before it is reused.
