What’s changing for crypto users in Croatia

Croatia taxes crypto gains at 12% (no surtax since the 2024 reform) if you sell within two years of buying; hold for over two years and gains are generally tax-exempt, and crypto-to-crypto trades aren’t taxed until you cash out. This is general information, not tax advice.
Binance has limited certain EUR services for EU users, including Croatia, since 1 July 2026 due to MiCA licensing.
Kriptomat, popular across the wider Balkan region, is winding down — withdrawing to euros is a safe first step if you’re a user.
Crypto itself is fully legal in Croatia — CryptoUnity is available here now, with regulated custody powered by BitGo.
