Japan has banned Monero. There is probably a way around it but if you openly declare where you live, you can't buy it. I'm wondering if this will become a trend among other cryptos.

What about buying some other crypto and trading it for XMR? I'm sure they can do that?

Thanks. I am not a crypto expert but learned a bit when BTC crossed $20k.

the problem appears when you have to submit KYC to buy the traceable crypto and then it ends up on a banned exchange. they will be able to tell that you are trying to trade it for XMR.

What is KYC? Only XMR is untraceable?

Know Your Customer. Banking laws for proper taxation of customers, really.
