Moldova plans to introduce cryptocurrency regulations in 2026

WuBlockJan 16, 2026
Moldova's Finance Minister Andrian Gavriliță announced the implementation of a cryptocurrency regulatory framework by 2026, including rules on holding, trading, and exchanging, fulfilling commitments as an EU candidate country—rather than imposing a ban, regulation is necessary.

The new law prohibits the use of cryptocurrencies for payments and imposes a 12% income tax on cryptocurrency transaction gains (holding is not taxed).

Drawing on the EU's MiCA framework and Romania's experience, the framework was jointly drafted by the National Bank, the National Commission for the Financial Markets, and the Anti-Money Laundering Office to strengthen anti-money laundering measures.
