Buying crypto in Belgium: what to know
Legal- Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) — Competent authority under MiCA: authorises and supervises crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and supervises crypto-asset offerings and market abuse
- National Bank of Belgium (NBB) — Prudential supervision of CASPs that are already banks, securities firms, payment or e-money institutions
- FPS Finance (FOD Financiën / SPF Finances) — Tax authority
Since 1 Jan 2026, gains on crypto made by individuals in normal management of private assets fall under the new capital gains tax on financial assets (Law of 6 Apr 2026, Belgian Official Gazette 21 Apr 2026): 10%, after an annual exemption of EUR 10,000 per person (indexed; unused part can be carried forward EUR 1,000 per year, up to EUR 15,000). For crypto bought before 2026, the value on 31 Dec 2025 counts as purchase price. Speculative gains stay taxed at 33% plus municipal surcharges; professional activity is taxed at progressive rates.
Gains: 10% (normal management, from 2026, after EUR 10,000 exemption) / 33% (speculative) / progressive (professional)
- Check a provider in the FSMA 'Check your provider' tool and the ESMA MiCA register; as of 30 Oct 2026 the FSMA list of authorised Belgian CASPs was empty, so providers serving Belgium are passported from other EU states.
- The FSMA warned against six unauthorised crypto providers on 6 Jul 2026, right after the transition ended.
- Keep a record of each coin's value on 31 Dec 2025 (a screenshot from an app can be enough) and of all later trades.
- Large, frequent or short-term trading can be treated as speculative and taxed at 33%.
