What to know

For ZEC buyers, expect the authorized exchange list to narrow through 2026 as firms complete CASP authorization; check your exchange's status before funding. Monero is not practically available through MiCA-regulated channels. Norway taxes crypto as capital property with gains included in general income. Reporting requirements are detailed. Norway's implementation of MiCA through EEA mechanisms may lag EU member state timelines by a small margin; confirm current rules.

Regulatory detail

EEA implementation of MiCA, Finanstilsynet oversight. CASP-equivalent authorization expected around July 1, 2026.
