- Hungary | Enacts Repressive Digital Asset Law

Hungary, under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s increasingly authoritarian rule, passed one of the strictest digital asset legislations in Europe. Starting July 1, individuals trading digital assets on unauthorized platforms could face prison sentences of up to five years. And “providing unauthorized crypto asset exchange services” could land you up to eight years. “The legislation’s broad language and lack of implementation guidelines have created a legal gray area where previously legal activities could now result in criminal prosecution,” Forbes reports. Digital asset exchange Revolut has already halted services for its 2 million Hungarian users, “temporarily” freezing accounts with no timeline for restoring services. The legislation is problematic because it criminalizes basic financial activities, such as buying and selling Bitcoin, while not providing a legal or compliant way to do so. It limits individuals from storing value outside traditional banking. It also eliminates an option for people who might use Bitcoin to protect their savings, support dissenting causes, or escape financial surveillance. FinancialFreedomReport.org

The move is designed to monitor energy use, enforce tax collection, and stamp out unregistered operations in key mining regions. A separate law, still in draft form, would also allow courts to seize digital assets linked to mining deemed “illegal.” Miners who fail to comply will face fines of up to 2 million rubles (about $22,000). Six regions are already under a full mining ban until 2031. Overall, Russia’s new Bitcoin mining registry poses serious risks to financial and civil liberties. By forcing miners to register equipment and comply with rules under threat of asset seizure or closure, the Kremlin gains greater surveillance and control over Bitcoin mining in Russia and offers a potential blueprint for other authoritarian regimes.
