Yes, buying, selling, and holding cryptocurrency is legal in Estonia. Since 2024, crypto services are regulated by the EU's MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation. We recommend using only MiCA-licensed platforms, which offer greater protection.
MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) is a European Union regulation in effect since 2024. MiCA-licensed platforms must comply with strict rules on capital reserves, client asset protection, and transparency. This means greater security and consumer protection for users.
To buy cryptocurrency in Estonia: 1) Choose a MiCA-licensed exchange (e.g. Bybit, Binance, Bitvavo), 2) Create an account and complete KYC (identity verification), 3) Deposit EUR via SEPA bank transfer, 4) Purchase your desired cryptocurrency. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Yes, profits from selling cryptocurrency are subject to a 22% income tax in Estonia. You must declare it in your annual tax return (deadline: April 30). Tax applies to the profit (selling price minus purchase price). Staking and mining income is also taxable. For more information, visit our taxes page.
For secure storage, we recommend: 1) Use a hardware wallet (e.g. Trezor, Ledger) for large amounts, 2) Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts, 3) Keep your private keys securely offline, 4) Do not store large amounts on exchanges. Learn more on our wallets page.
