Buying crypto in Europe in 2026 starts with choosing a MiCA-regulated platform. Here are the essential steps.
1. Choose a regulated exchange
After 1 July 2026, new EEA users must use authorised entities such as Bybit EU (MiCA licence) — your assurance of a supervised framework.
2. Sign up and verify (KYC)
You'll need an ID document: verification is mandatory and protects your account.
3. Deposit euros
Via SEPA transfer or card. SEPA is usually cheaper.
4. Your first spot purchase
Start small and with major coins. Avoid leveraged products: they are not available to EU retail users and carry high risk.
Remember: crypto is volatile and you can lose your capital. This is information, not financial advice.
