Being the flagship of the crypto business is honorable, profitable and difficult.

The main problem facing crypto enthusiasts is the inconsistency of opinions of governments of different countries on the use of cryptocurrencies and regulation of this market.

Fortunately, there are countries like Estonia. This country is friendly to active participants in the virtual asset market and creates fruitful ground for the development of various startups in this area.

It is here that you can get a European-style license to work with all types of crypto assets.

Estonian crypto license: an ongoing development story

The basic law regulating the sphere of the cryptocurrency market is the Directive of the European Union on countering Money laundering. Estonia became the first European country to include this normative act in its national laws.

However, the development of the country’s legislative framework has not ended there, which indicates a high degree of interest of the Estonian leadership in this market segment. From time to time, the Estonian society enters into discussions on what else can be improved in the process of regulating virtual currencies and crypto services. The main purpose of these discussions is to optimize the interaction of the parties and to protect all market participants.

Investors and enthusiasts of the crypto market appreciate such efforts and willingly register their projects in Estonia. So in 2019, 667 cryptocurrency exchangers were licensed to work here. In addition, this is not counting other crypto projects. Moreover, over the past three years, over a thousand licenses have been issued in the country.

The uniqueness of Estonia for Crypto projects

In fact, there are no fundamental difficulties in the country that would make it impossible to use cryptocurrencies to pay for goods, services or make other transactions with them.

The legislation of Estonia has a transparent and understandable system of regulations aimed at taxation of crypto transactions; regulation of money laundering and terrorist financing that can be committed using any cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, litecoin, ripple and others:

  • On the issue of VAT, Estonia takes the position that the exchange of ordinary currency to any of the cryptocurrencies and back is not subject to value added tax, as is customary in the process of exchanging traditional fiat currencies. This position is supported by the decision of the European Court of Justice regarding bitcoin.
  • The Ministry of Finance of Estonia considers virtual currencies as alternative means of payment. In this regard, in order to prevent attempts at money laundering or terrorist financing, traders working with cryptocurrency are required to identify the identity of their clients. Special attention is paid to those persons whose transactions exceed the amount of one thousand euros per month.
