Greece has implemented new tax measures targeting the cryptocurrency sector, approving a 10% tax on gains from crypto trading. Additionally, the government has introduced a 15% levy on income generated through decentralized finance (DeFi) activities, according to CoinDesk.
These tax policies aim to regulate and capitalize on the growing crypto market within Greece, reflecting a broader trend of governments seeking to formalize taxation on digital assets. The 15% tax on DeFi income highlights increasing attention on emerging financial technologies beyond traditional crypto trading.
For Japanese investors and market participants, Greece’s move underscores the global momentum toward clearer regulatory frameworks for digital assets, potentially influencing tax policies and compliance practices in other jurisdictions.
