Odaily Planet Daily News The Slovenian Ministry of Finance has proposed a 25% tax on cryptocurrency capital gains from 2026, which applies to transactions that convert crypto assets into fiat currency or use them for consumption, but does not include swaps between crypto assets. The Ministry of Finance said the move is aimed at filling loopholes in the current tax system and unifying the tax treatment of crypto gains with traditional investment gains such as stocks and bonds. Previous gains (before January 1, 2026) were not taxed, and trading losses could be carried forward to offset future gains. The new tax system is expected to bring the country 2.5 million to 25 million euros in revenue each year, and the Ministry of Finance is currently soliciting public opinions. ECB data shows that Slovenia has the highest rate of crypto holdings in the eurozone, with about 15% of adults holding cryptocurrencies in 2023. (CoinDesk)
