There is a significant rise for Greeks, particularly young adults around the age of 30, engaging with cryptocurrencies and digital assets. At the same time, significant issues are caused due to the lack of a clear tax framework in Greece. These issues concern not only the investors engaging in cryptocurrency activities but also the Greek tax authorities who currently do not recognise these cryptocurrencies and digital assets.
