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. Sweden taxes crypto capital gains at a flat 30% rate, with staking and lending income also at 30%. A distinctive Swedish rule: only 70% of a capital loss can be deducted against gains, so losses don't offset 1:1. Detailed transaction-by-transaction reporting is expected at filing time.
