Crypto Brokers in Iraq, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Iraq has no domestic retail forex/CFD framework — the ISC (Iraq Securities Commission) supervises the small Iraq Stock Exchange and broker-dealers, while the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) handles banking and the dinar (IQD). Following 2023 US Federal Reserve restrictions on USD wire access for several Iraqi banks, FX flows have tightened substantially. Most retail FX activity routes through offshore brokers; USD wires (where international banking permits), Qi Card and stablecoins handle funding.

Currency
IQD
Payment methods
Wire transfer (USD)Qi CardBank transferUSDT
Tax

Personal income tax is progressive up to 15% (one of the lower regional rates). Capital gains regulations are limited and enforcement on offshore-broker income is impractical given current FX-control friction. Foreign brokers do not withhold; reporting infrastructure is constrained.

Retail trading rules

There are no statutory leverage caps for offshore-served residents; brokers apply their own limits. Several international brokers list Iraq as restricted or as enhanced-due-diligence due to AML and sanctions-screening considerations. CBI exchange controls require declaration and authorisation for larger USD outflows; stablecoin rails handle a meaningful share of retail flow.
