Is buying bitcoin with SEPA transfer legal in Switzerland?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Switzerland and the country is one of the world's friendliest jurisdictions for it. FINMA supervises crypto intermediaries and published its token classification guidelines in 2018, while the DLT Act, in force since 2021, embedded digital assets in Swiss securities and insolvency law. For private individuals, capital gains on crypto held as personal wealth are generally tax-free, though holdings count toward the annual wealth tax and professional trading is taxed as income.
