The standing framework is Act VII of 2024 on the crypto-asset market, which covers the issuance of crypto-assets in Hungary and crypto-asset services performed on Hungarian territory, requires every crypto-asset service provider to comply with MiCA, and names the Magyar Nemzeti Bank as the supervisor. Providers already operating before 30 December 2024 had until 1 July 2025 to come into MiCA compliance.
