Buy crypto in Sweden

Buying crypto is legal in Sweden and regulated under the EU's MiCA framework, supervised by Finansinspektionen (FI). Licensed exchanges can passport across the EU, so Coinbase, Kraken, Binance and the other majors all serve Swedish users. Sweden runs on the krona rather than the euro, but euro SEPA transfers and the local Swish system both work for funding.

The Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) treats crypto as 'other assets', so every sale, swap or purchase made with crypto is a taxable disposal. Capital gains are taxed at a flat 30%, and you can deduct 70% of any losses. Mining and staking rewards are taxed as income at their value when received, so keeping a full transaction record matters.
