Compound can legally be purchased in most countries around the world, but there are few that ban cryptocurrencies outright, which would include Compound. Cryptocurrency is currently banned in Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, China, and a few others. Russia is one of several countries that prohibit cryptocurrency being used for payment but allow it as an investment option. The laws surrounding cryptocurrency are always changing, with new laws coming down the pipeline, which means that the legality of buying Compound in certain countries could change in the near future.
