How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Serbia

Buying cryptocurrency in Serbia

Buying cryptocurrency in SerbiaAs Serbia’s law on digital assets goes into effect, the country has started the process of regulating the crypto industry. According to this law, cryptocurrency service providers are required to get a license and activities like trading and mining are now legal. The law came into effect in December 2020, with the publication of the country’s official gazette. A set of amendments regarding tax regulation of digital assets were also adopted by the Serbian parliament. This law applies to digital assets, all of which are separated into two groups – virtual currencies and digital tokens. Digital assets are described as digital records of value which can be digitally purchased, sold, transferred and exchanged and be used for investment purposes or as an exchange medium. The authorities responsible for overseeing the crypto industry are the National Bank of Serbia and the Serbian Securities Commission. Stablecoins are also acknowledged and mining is legalized.
