§ 04 FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which crypto banks operate in Germany? +
All MiCA-compliant EU platforms serve Germany: Revolut (Bank of Lithuania licence), Nexo (EU licences), Brighty (Estonian FIU), Wirex, and Plutus. Germany is Europe's largest crypto market — over 5 million crypto users as of 2026.
Is crypto banking regulated in Germany? +
Yes. BaFin (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) regulates crypto services in Germany. Under MiCA (fully in force since end-2024), all EU-licensed crypto firms can passport into Germany. Revolut's Bank of Lithuania licence makes it fully MiCA-compatible.
Do I need to pay tax on crypto yield in Germany? +
Yes. In Germany, crypto yield (staking, lending interest) is taxed as income at your marginal rate. Capital gains on crypto held over 1 year are tax-free under the Haltefrist rule. Consult a Steuerberater for your specific situation — Koinly integrates with all major platforms to simplify German crypto tax reporting.
