Global EUR fallback, rarely needed now: EUR 4 minimum and a EUR 3 fee, 1-5 business days.

Blocked by regulation: since MiCA's transition ended, only licensed providers may offer crypto services in the EU.

10% flat personal income tax on the annual tax base. The two 10% figures in the Bulgarian rules are different things and are easy to conflate: the taxable income from crypto disposals is the year's gains less the year's losses, then cut by a statutory 10% expense allowance, and that taxable income is taxed at the 10% flat rate the National Revenue Agency states for personal income (15% for sole traders).

Crypto trading in Bulgaria is legal.

31 exchanges serve Bulgaria, among them Aevo, ApeX and Aster.

Bulgaria's crypto KYC and AML compliance is overseen by six authorities: FID-SANS, BNB, FSC, NRA, CPDP, and the Ministry of Interior.

Bulgaria traders cannot use BGN (lev) bank transfer and Any rail into a provider without a MiCA authorisation to fund a crypto account.
