Cryptocurrency is legal in Norway and regulated by Finanstilsynet. Norway taxes crypto capital gains at 22% and includes crypto holdings in the annual wealth tax calculation (net wealth above NOK 1.7M taxed at ~1.1%). VASPs must register with Finanstilsynet. Norway is an EEA member and aligning with MiCA through the EEA agreement.

Ukraine passed the 'On Virtual Assets' law in 2022, establishing a legal framework for crypto. The NSSMC is designated as the primary regulator for virtual assets. Crypto gained significance during the Russia-Ukraine war, with Ukraine receiving over $100 million in crypto donations. Tax rules specify 18% income tax plus 1.5% military levy on crypto gains. Full implementation of the regulatory framework has been delayed due to the ongoing conflict.
