What the law actually says

Is XRP trading legal in Belgium?

Belgium is the strictest of the large EU markets on this pair of questions, and the gap between the two answers is wider here than almost anywhere. Spot crypto itself is legal: MiCA has applied since 30 December 2024, the FSMA runs the crypto-asset framework, and since 1 July 2026 any crypto-asset service provider must hold a MiCA authorisation or stop offering services in Europe - the national transitional regime ran out on 30 June 2026.

Leveraged derivatives are a different matter entirely. Since 18 August 2016 the FSMA Regulation approved by Royal Decree has banned distribution to consumers, over electronic trading platforms, of binary options, sub-one-hour derivatives and leveraged derivatives including CFDs and rolling spot forex - and it sits on top of an earlier ban on distributing financial products whose underlying is a virtual currency.

What the contract is

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

Choose Buy / Long, then set size and leverage

Buying $1,000 of XRP 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.
