Let’s be clear before anything. BAT from Rewards never are in your Brave Wallet. The only way they make it that far is if you’ve received it at Uphold or Gemini and then you paid the gas fees to send it to Brave Wallet.
I’m providing any updates as we get them over at PSA: Unsupported Region
I’m not sure what you last had seen, but it’s likely going to be several months before any progress. Sometime this week they’ll hopefully open Uphold back to the restricted 19 countries (it’s been not allowing anyone in the world to connect for past couple weeks). Then likely up to 2 months for France and India, along with whoever they manage.
