Slovenia vs Syria
Crypto regulation comparison
Slovenia
Syria
Legal
Banned
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.
Syria has a restrictive stance on cryptocurrency compounded by international sanctions. The Central Bank has not authorized crypto activities. International sanctions make access to crypto platforms extremely difficult.
