How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Slovenia

Buying cryptocurrency in Slovenia

Buying cryptocurrency in Slovenia With the establishment of the European Blockchain Partnership (EBP) in 2018, Slovenia, being one of the founding European members, has witnessed the growth of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Slovenian citizens seem very aware of blockchain technology and most of them have, at some point, heard about Bitcoin. Currently, cryptocurrencies are considered virtual currencies in Slovenia, meaning they�re not recognized as monetary assets or financial instruments under Slovenian law. However, Slovenian officials concluded that owning or using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is, in fact, legal. Additionally, mining is taxable, along with operating businesses using cryptocurrency as a payment method. Since Slovenia doesn�t have any tax-specific cryptocurrency laws, crypto communities have teamed up with different authorities to clear up misunderstandings in the field and to make sure that regulations don�t hinder development. Another interesting fact is that over a 1,000 locations in Slovenia (hotels, cafes, dentists, hair salons, etc.) accept cryptocurrency payments.
