What’s changing for crypto users in Slovakia

Slovakia reformed its crypto tax rules: hold for at least a year and profits qualify for a reduced 7% rate (down from up to 25% plus health levies); sell sooner and it’s taxed as ordinary income. Small crypto payments up to €2,400/year are exempt. This is general information, not tax advice.
Binance has limited certain EUR services for EU users, including Slovakia, since 1 July 2026 due to MiCA licensing.
Crypto itself is fully legal in Slovakia — CryptoUnity is available here now, with regulated custody powered by BitGo.
