Crypto-Assets

The European Union has adopted crypto-asset regulations with the aim of creating a more transparent and larger crypto-asset market. These rules regulate the business of crypto-assets and set the conditions for the issuance of crypto-assets. The use of crypto-assets by consumers is not regulated. Consumers do not need any permission from National Bank of Slovakia to buy, sell or hold crypto-assets for private purposes.
