Cyprus for crypto investors and traders — Article 20E classification, non-dom dividends, clean banking

Where activity falls on the passive investor side of the Article 20E line, gains can be CGT-exempt — consistent with Cyprus's broader treatment of non-real-estate securities disposals. Where activity is high-frequency, leveraged, sole-source-of-income or otherwise looks like a business, it's reclassified and taxed at PIT bands or corporate tax. The line is fact-specific. We screen and structure for clarity rather than over-promising.

Staking rewards, lending interest, DeFi yields, airdrops and forks each have distinct treatments. Most are income at receipt at fair-market value, taxed at PIT bands (or corporate if held via a Ltd). Some specific structures (e.g. governance-token receipt without service performed) can be argued differently. We assess case-by-case and document positions.

Yes, with the right narrative and documentation. Cyprus banks (Hellenic Private, Bank of Cyprus Private) onboard legitimate crypto-derived HNWIs that provide thorough source-of-funds documentation: wallet-history exports, exchange-account reconciliations, tax-compliance history, tax-residency certificates. Showing up under-documented turns a 4-week onboarding into a 6-month one or a refusal. We assemble the pack.

No — deliberately. Operator licensing under MiCA (CASPs, custodians, exchanges, ATM providers) is a specialist regulatory practice. We focus on what we genuinely do best: corporate, tax and relocation work for individual investors and traders. We have referral relationships with specialist MiCA / CySEC counsel and are happy to introduce.
