So it looks like Kuwait has decided to ban crypto payments, investments, and also mining. The reason? is the usual:
Kuwait has prohibited the use of crypto for payments or investment to combat money laundering, according to a circular by the country's financial regulator issued on Monday.
As the article states, any violations of the prohibitions would result in penalties.
I personally wasn't expecting this, especially with their neighbor (UAE and Bahrain) doing the total opposite.
