Is bitcoin legal in Latvia?
Bitcoin is legal in Latvia, an EU and euro-area member. Crypto platforms serving Latvian customers fall under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation (MiCA), with Latvijas Banka, the central bank and integrated financial supervisor since absorbing the Financial and Capital Market Commission in 2023, acting as the national licensing authority. Only authorized crypto-asset service providers may operate as the EU's transitional arrangements wind down, and gains are taxed as capital income under Latvian law.
