Read ReviewCrypto trading is regulated in Austria. There are currently 28 exchanges listed as available to users in Austria. Always verify that an exchange is legally permitted to serve users in your jurisdiction before depositing funds; check with FMA for the latest licensing information.
Our list above shows the exchanges currently accepting users from Austria. Availability can change if an exchange withdraws from a market or gains new regulatory approval, so always check the exchange's terms of service to confirm access for Austria residents before registering.
Exchanges regulated by FMA are typically required to hold client assets separately from company funds and implement robust AML and cybersecurity controls. However, unlike traditional bank deposits, crypto holdings are not usually covered by government compensation schemes. Use hardware wallets for long-term storage and only keep trading amounts on exchanges.
Austria falls under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which provides a unified licensing framework for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) across EU member states. MiCA came into full effect in December 2024, giving EU traders stronger consumer protections than most other jurisdictions.
Tax treatment of crypto gains varies significantly by jurisdiction. Most countries with established crypto frameworks, including the EU, UK, US, and Australia, treat crypto as a taxable asset subject to capital gains tax. Some jurisdictions such as the UAE apply no personal income or capital gains tax. Always consult a local tax adviser for guidance specific to your situation in Austria.
