Greece proposes a 10% capital-gains tax on crypto profits, exempting gains up to €500 and crypto-to-crypto swaps.
Greece’s draft bill would levy a 10% tax on capital gains from cryptocurrency transactions, marking the first such measure in the country.
The proposal includes exemptions for annual gains of up to €500 and for swaps between different cryptocurrencies, aiming to protect small‑time traders.
If enacted, the tax could reshape how Greek investors hold and trade digital assets, potentially reducing speculative activity and encouraging longer holding periods.
