Jurisdiction reference
Greece
Regulator: HCMC / BoG. License/registration context: Registration. 18 VASP/entity records are tracked by Plexo Institute in Greece. Official registry source: EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Data last updated: 2026-09-30.
Greece treats crypto including stablecoins as digital assets, not legal tender. Greece requires all stablecoin issuers or service providers to be licensed as CASPs under MiCAR, clearing hurdles like AML/KYC, white-papers, reserve transparency. Enforcement is live under HCMC and coordination with the Bank of Greece's sandbox. Regulatory clarity is bolstered by new licensing rules rolled out in August 2025.
