How to Trade iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) in Greece

From Greece, exposure to iShares MSCI South Korea ETF runs through a USDC-settled perpetual.

Is iShares MSCI South Korea ETF trading legal in Greece?

On spot crypto the Hellenic Capital Market Commission runs a working MiCA regime: its crypto-assets section lists the primary legislation as the MiCA Regulation together with Greek Law 5193/2025, publishes the procedure for applying to it for authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, carries the Article 65 template for providers serving Greek clients cross-border from another member state, and keeps a page of crypto-asset service providers in Greece filed under its market-entity supervision powers. So there are two lawful routes to a Greek retail user - a provider authorised by the HCMC itself, and one passported in from elsewhere in the EEA - and a venue confirms the second in practice, naming Greece among the EEA states its Irish MiCA CASP authorisation is passported to.

What the contract is

A perpetual on EWY 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.
