Some MetaMask features, particularly leveraged crypto trading, are blocked for users in the United States and potentially other countries, and it is your responsibility to know whether you are allowed to use any given feature where you live.
This analysis describes what MetaMask's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Users who access restricted features in prohibited jurisdictions may be violating applicable law, and the agreement places full compliance responsibility on the user rather than on MetaMask.
U.S. users cannot legally access MetaMask's leveraged derivatives trading (Perps) feature, and MetaMask places the legal compliance burden on users to determine which features are permissible in their location.

"Certain products and features offered by MetaMask are not available in all jurisdictions. In particular, certain features including leveraged and derivatives trading (Perps) are not available to users in the United States. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of MetaMask and its features complies with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.— Excerpt from MetaMask's MetaMask Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Geographic restrictions on leveraged derivatives products for U.S. users reflect CFTC regulatory requirements regarding unregistered derivatives offerings to U.S. persons. The terms' placement of compliance responsibility on users does not eliminate MetaMask's own potential regulatory obligations regarding geofencing effectiveness and good-faith compliance measures. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The effectiveness of jurisdiction-based feature restrictions is an ongoing regulatory compliance challenge; IP-based geofencing can be circumvented, and regulators (particularly the CFTC and SEC) have taken action against platforms that rely on user representations alone. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: U.S. users (all states) are restricted from Perps; additional jurisdictions may be restricted for other features. Legal teams should obtain the current restricted-jurisdictions list and assess completeness relative to applicable regulatory requirements. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Businesses and developers deploying MetaMask-powered interfaces to global user bases should implement their own geographic restriction controls and not rely solely on MetaMask's restrictions, given the contractual transfer of compliance responsibility to the end user. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify the technical implementation of geographic restrictions and document the basis for the jurisdiction list. The user-responsibility framing should be assessed against applicable law, as courts and regulators may not accept contractual compliance transfers as a defense against platform-level violations.
