Portugal

No Regulation
Legal

Honduras has no specific cryptocurrency legislation. The Central Bank and CNBS have issued warnings about crypto risks but have not banned it. The Special Economic Zone of Prospera on Roatán island adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in its jurisdiction, though this is a unique local arrangement.

Portugal was formerly a crypto tax haven with 0% capital gains tax on crypto for individuals, but the 2023 State Budget introduced a 28% capital gains tax on crypto held for less than one year. Crypto held for over 365 days remains tax-free for individuals. Banco de Portugal registers VASPs for AML compliance, and Portugal transitions to MiCA. Portugal attracted many crypto entrepreneurs due to its previously favorable tax regime and NHR (Non-Habitual Resident) program.
