Greece plans to impose a 15% capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies. According to BlockBeats, on June 5, two Greek government officials informed Reuters that the Greek Finance Ministry is preparing legislation to impose a 15% capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies, expected to be submitted to parliament for review in the coming months. Under the plan, the first €500 of gains per taxpayer will be tax-exempt; individual mining is not subject to taxation, but mining operations registered as businesses will be taxed. Three key factors to monitor: whether funds continue to flow in, whether on-chain trading volume and holdings continue to grow, and whether the project team or regulators provide new confirmation. A single news item only indicates heightened sentiment—subsequent data will determine whether this evolves into a lasting trend. Risks must also be acknowledged: Greece currently lacks a comprehensive tax framework for cryptocurrencies, and tax rates across EU countries vary significantly—from 8% in Cyprus to 30% in France. Officials noted that since most Greek investors use offshore platforms, it is currently difficult to estimate the size of the country’s crypto market, and no specific tax revenue projections are available. #OnChainData #Regulation #Blockchain #CryptoMarket #CryptoCircle
