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.
Cryptocurrency is legal in Slovakia and regulated under EU MiCA framework since December 2024.
