Which exchanges accept SEPA transfer in Vatican City?
Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Vatican City, Kraken, Coinbase, Coinmama accept SEPA transfer for funding purchases.
Is buying bitcoin with SEPA transfer legal in Vatican City?
Vatican City has no legislation on bitcoin: buying and holding it is legal by default, and no Vatican authority licenses or supervises crypto services. The city state uses the euro under a monetary agreement with the European Union but is not an EU member, so the MiCA regulation does not apply within its walls; in practice residents rely on Italian banking and EU-regulated platforms next door. The Holy See has engaged mostly at the level of ethics, urging international regulation of crypto's misuse.
