Is using a crypto stablecoin yield product legal in Germany?
Yes. Germany regulates crypto-asset service providers under MiCA (EU Regulation 2023/1114), enforced from 30 December 2024. BaFin oversees stablecoin yield operating in Germany; only providers authorised under MiCA may serve retail clients. Verify any provider against ESMA’s interim MiCA register.
How is crypto taxed in Germany?
Crypto held over 12 months is tax-free for private investors. Below 12 months, gains are taxed at the personal income rate (up to 45%) only if total annual gains from private sales reach €1,000. Terms you will meet: Spekulationsfrist, the one-year holding period (§ 23(1) no. 2 EStG); Freigrenze, the €1,000 threshold: at €1,000 or more a year, all gains are taxed, not only the part above it (§ 23(3) EStG). Read from § 23 EStG, gesetze-im-internet.de on 27 October 2026. Editorial summary, not tax advice: consult a qualified tax advisor in Germany before filing.
What payment methods work for buying crypto in Germany?

Are international platforms (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) available in Germany?
Coinbase and Kraken hold MiCA authorisation valid in Germany. Binance does not: no Binance entity is on ESMA's register (read 10 November 2026); every transitional period ended by 1 July 2026, so none covers it there.
