Is bitcoin legal in Estonia?
Bitcoin is legal in Estonia. Once known for handing out thousands of loose virtual currency licenses, Estonia tightened its regime sharply in 2022 under its money laundering prevention law and then moved supervision to Finantsinspektsioon, the Financial Supervision Authority, under the Crypto Asset Market Act implementing the EU's MiCA regulation. Estonia ended its national transition period on 30 December 2025, earlier than most of the EU, so platforms serving Estonian customers now need CASP authorisation.
