What the law actually says

Is Virtuals Protocol 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

The contract itself does not change by geography: a VIRTUAL perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
