2. Slovenia Plans to Tax Cryptocurrency Capital Gains

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Slovenian Ministry of Finance has proposed a 25% tax rate on capital gains from cryptocurrencies starting in 2026, applicable to transactions that convert crypto assets into fiat currency or are used for consumption, but not including exchanges between crypto assets. The Ministry stated that this move aims to address loopholes in the current tax system and unify the taxation of crypto gains with traditional investment gains such as stocks and bonds. Gains realized before 2026 (before January 1) will not be subject to taxation, and trading losses can be carried forward to offset future gains. The new tax system is expected to generate between 2.5 million to 25 million euros in revenue for the country annually, and the Ministry is currently seeking public opinion. According to data from the European Central Bank, Slovenia has the highest cryptocurrency holding rate in the Eurozone, with about 15% of adults holding cryptocurrencies in 2023. -Original
