Frequently asked questions

Is crypto legal in Portugal? +
Yes. Crypto is legal to buy, hold and sell in Portugal under the EU’s MiCA regulation, with Banco de Portugal as the licensing authority and the CMVM overseeing conduct.
How is crypto taxed in Portugal? +
Under the current rules, crypto held for more than a year is exempt from personal capital-gains tax, while gains on crypto held under a year are taxed at a flat 28%. Staking is taxed as investment income and professional trading is taxed differently. This is general information, not tax advice — check your own situation with a Portuguese tax adviser.
Why did Binance scale back in the EU? +
Binance did not secure a MiCA licence in time and suspended core services for EU users around the 1 July 2026 deadline; existing holdings reportedly remained withdrawable. Crypto itself remains fully legal in Portugal — this is one company’s decision, not a market-wide problem, and CryptoUnity is a calm place to keep going.
How do beginners in Portugal buy their first crypto? +
Download a beginner-friendly app, verify your identity once, fund your account by SEPA transfer in euros, and make a small, guided first purchase. CryptoUnity explains each coin and step in plain language.
Is CryptoUnity regulated? +
CryptoUnity is a beginner-friendly app, not a licensed exchange. Regulated custody and execution are provided by BitGo, a regulated institutional custodian.
