Norway — crypto regulation

Status: legal · Last reviewed 2026-11-05

EEA member implementing MiCA via the Crypto Asset Act (Kryptoeiendelsloven), in force since Jul 2025. Finanstilsynet supervises CASPs. The transition for AML-registered providers ended on 30 Jun 2026, and six Norwegian firms, including Firi, K33 Markets, Bare Bitcoin and Norwegian Block Exchange, now appear in ESMA's MiCA register. Crypto gains are taxed at 22%, with third-party reporting from Jan 2026. In Mar 2026 the Storting asked the government for a bill banning new crypto-mining data centres; no ban is yet in force. Norges Bank concluded a digital krone is not currently needed (Dec 2025).
