Luxembourg is a major European hub for crypto and blockchain financial services. The CSSF regulates VASPs and crypto-related investment funds. Crypto held for more than 6 months is generally exempt from capital gains tax for individuals, making it attractive for long-term holders. Luxembourg hosts several prominent crypto exchanges and fund administrators.

Paraguay has no specific comprehensive crypto law. President Abdo vetoed a crypto regulation bill in 2022. The BCP does not recognize crypto as legal tender. VASPs must register with SEPRELAD for AML compliance since 2020. Paraguay is a significant crypto mining hub due to cheap hydroelectric power from the Itaipu Dam, though bills to restrict mining due to energy theft have been debated.
