Buy crypto in Greece

Buying crypto is legal in Greece and regulated under the EU's MiCA framework, supervised by the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC). A MiCA licence passports across the EU, so the major exchanges all serve Greek users. Funding is free and instant through SEPA euro transfers and the local IRIS payment system.

Greece historically lacked a clear crypto-specific tax, with gains assessed under general income rules. The government is finalising a dedicated 15% capital gains tax on crypto profits, expected to take effect from 2026. Until it lands, keep full records of every buy and sell so you can report gains correctly under whichever rules apply for the year.
