Trade Robinhood Markets in Serbia

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

Is Robinhood Markets trading legal in Serbia?

Serbia is one of the few non-EU countries we cover with a dedicated statute: the Law on Digital Assets (RS Official Gazette No 153/2020) has applied since June 2021 and covers both halves of the market. It defines digital assets as a digital representation of value that can be bought, sold, exchanged or transferred and used as a means of exchange or for investment, and it separates out virtual currency - a type of digital asset that no central bank or public authority issues or guarantees, that is not necessarily attached to legal tender, and that does not have the legal status of money or a currency. Owning and trading crypto is therefore lawful; what is licensed is the business of serving other people.

What the contract is

A perpetual on HOOD 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 HOOD 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.

Capital gains tax on cryptocurrency in Serbia is a flat 15%, calculated on the difference between the selling price and the documented purchase price.
