Is bitcoin legal in Lithuania?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Lithuania. The Bank of Lithuania licenses and supervises crypto-asset service providers under the EU's MiCA regulation; the country's legacy VASP registration regime ended with a transition period that ran through the end of 2025, and providing crypto services without authorization is now treated as illegal financial activity. Lithuania was previously one of Europe's largest VASP registration hubs, so the cleanup was significant.
