Greece Introduces 10% Crypto Tax on Gains

Starting January 1, 2027, Greece will apply a 10% tax on crypto profits above 500 euros, with 15% for staking and DeFi income. Crypto payments also fall under the new rules.

DeFi stands for financial services without the involvement of banks or other central parties.

Within DeFi, blockchain technology is used for services such as borrowing, lending, trading, and earning yield. Smart contracts automatically execute financial processes.
