Cryptocurrency is legal in Croatia and regulated under the EU's MiCA framework since Croatia joined the eurozone in January 2023. Crypto capital gains are taxed at 10-12% depending on the holding period. HANFA oversees crypto service providers.

Japan is one of the world's most comprehensively regulated crypto markets. The Payment Services Act and Financial Instruments and Exchange Act govern crypto exchanges and tokens. Japan classifies crypto as "crypto-assets" and taxes gains as miscellaneous income at rates up to 55%, though reforms to lower this rate are under active discussion.
