Liechtenstein's Blockchain Act (TVTG) effective since 2020 is among the world's most comprehensive crypto frameworks. The FMA supervises registered TT service providers. Adapted for EU MiCAR in 2025.
Slovenia proposed a 25% tax on crypto capital gains effective January 2026, but the law was pulled from the December 2025 legislative session and has not been enacted. Currently, individual crypto trading gains remain untaxed. Slovenia has been crypto-friendly, with Ljubljana hosting Bitcoin City and a strong blockchain community. VASPs must register for AML compliance. MiCA applies from December 2024.
