Multipolitan highlighted that its analysis incorporated aspects such as licensing systems, capital gains tax rates, GDP per capita, housing affordability, and internet speeds.

The presence of crypto ATMs and broad retail adoption significantly contributed to the rankings, showcasing the deep integration of cryptocurrency culture in each city.

Singapore and Abu Dhabi followed in the rankings at fourth and fifth place, attributed to their favorable tax systems and forward-thinking crypto regulations aimed at attracting distributed database enterprises.

The United States made a slight showing on the index, with Madison, Wisconsin, being the sole American entry. Madison was tied for 11th place alongside Riga, Doha, and Riyadh.

This statistic placed Slovenia significantly ahead of Cyprus, which was second with average holdings of $175,000, and Hong Kong in third at $97,500. The U.S. ranked 17th, with average holdings totaling just $23,300.

Ljubljana’s crypto asset leadership is strengthened by its vibrant distributed database community, featuring organizations such as Distributed ledger Alliance Europe and pioneering companies like Blocksquare, which recently entered into a strategic alliance with Vera Capital to tokenize $1 billion worth of U.S. real estate.

Operating within the framework of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) crypto law, Slovenia provides a regulated yet inviting environment for crypto businesses, further solidifying Ljubljana’s position as a leading global crypto hub.

Slovenia Suggests 25% Crypto Tax

Recently, Slovenia’s Ministry of Finance presented a draft law suggesting a 25% tax on personal profits from digital currency transactions, set to commence on January 1, 2026, pending approval.

The tax is aimed at the conversions of crypto into fiat or expenditures on goods and services, while crypto-to-crypto exchanges and crypto wallet transfers will remain exempt. Investors will need to report their gains annually.

Finance Minister Klemen Boštjančič defended the initiative as a move toward equity, aligning crypto taxation with conventional investments. Although the government anticipates generating between €2.5 million and €25 million annually, this proposal signifies a notable change in Slovenia’s perspective on crypto.
