Is bitcoin legal in Hungary?
Bitcoin is legal in Hungary and the sector falls under the EU's MiCA regulation, supervised by the National Bank of Hungary (MNB). A criminal code amendment effective July 1, 2025 made trading on unauthorized platforms punishable by prison, driving Revolut, Bitstamp, and other providers to suspend Hungarian crypto services; the government that took office in 2026 announced the repeal of those penalties to realign fully with MiCA. The MNB granted Hungary's first MiCA license, to local firm CoinCash, in July 2026.
