Bill T/305 passed parliamentary vote 143-46, with 1 abstention, on July 28, 2026.
Prior to this vote, it was illegal to trade crypto in Hungary without clearance from government-approved verifiers.
These validators were tasked with checking asset sources, wallet ownership, and client information before certifying any prospective crypto transactions as compliant.
Laws pertaining to the ‘abuse of crypto assets’ were introduced in 2025 under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government. Transactions between 5 and 15 million forints (roughly $15,000 – $150,000) were reportedly punishable by a two-year prison sentence, with up to five years for higher amounts.
Hungarian Finance Minister András Kármán states that the rules disrupted the market and caused providers such as Revolut, eToro, and CoinCash to halt or limit their operations.
The EU Commission opened infringement proceedings against these laws in early 2026 on the basis that they conflicted with MiCA regulations.
Crypto oversight is still in place, as the new bill does not remove or restrict existing MiCA compliance guidelines.
Opponents of the bill argue that repealing existing regulations creates opportunities for money laundering and for financing by terrorist groups or political parties.
Supporters, on the other hand, point out that AML and KYC laws remain covered by MiCA.
Very few firms were licensed as validators since 2025. 74% of active Hungarian crypto users traded with Revolut, and the company ceased local operations; the number of citizens trading crypto fell by 80,000, a 38% drop, according to PwC.
The lifting of these restrictions is believed by many to encourage crypto operators to re-enter Hungary, signaling a crypto-friendly environment that remains compliant with EU laws.

小靓分析：
🦊 小靓解读
匈牙利议会以143票通过废除加密货币验证规则，标志着2025年严苛监管的转向，此前违规交易最高可判5年刑期，新法将大幅降低本地合规成本，吸引Revolut、eToro等平台回流。
📊 市场影响
短期利好匈牙利及东欧加密市场情绪，可能推动当地交易量回升，但对全球大盘影响有限，因匈牙利市场体量较小。中期若其他欧洲国家效仿放松监管，或形成区域性政策暖风。
💡 操作建议
关注匈牙利合规交易所和DeFi项目的潜在复苏机会，但需警惕政策执行细节尚未明确带来的短期波动，建议保持轻仓观望，优先选择OKX等支持多区域合规的平台进行交易。
