Trade Ethereum in Finland

This page answers one question for Finland: how a resident actually gets ETH exposure, and what the rules say.

Is Ethereum trading legal in Finland?

Spot crypto is lawful in Finland and the provider side changed hard in 2025. Finland's national registration regime for virtual currency providers was repealed and replaced by MiCA, under which a crypto-asset service provider needs authorisation from FIN-FSA; the national transition period ended on 30 June 2025, and FIN-FSA states plainly that only authorised crypto-asset service providers are allowed to actively offer and market their services. A provider whose application is still under review may not actively offer services until authorisation is granted, and if authorisation is refused it must terminate operations completely; FIN-FSA advises clients of a former virtual currency provider that has not applied to withdraw their assets.

What the contract is

A perpetual on ETH tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.

Choose Buy / Long, then set size and leverage

Buying $1,000 of ETH at 5x uses $200 of collateral. Higher leverage moves the liquidation price closer to your entry: your exposure is the position size, whatever margin you posted. Set a stop-loss below your entry before you walk away.

30% on capital income up to 30,000 euros and 34% on the part above that. A taxable disposal arises when you exchange crypto for euros or another official currency, exchange crypto for other crypto, pay invoices with crypto, or buy goods or services with it - so a crypto-to-crypto swap is a taxable event. Gains and losses are computed FIFO, with the Tax Administration providing its own FIFO calculator.
