Crypto Brokers in Greece, 2026
Tracked byIndependent review teamUpdated
Greece is a eurozone member state under ESMA retail rules; the HCMC (Hellenic Capital Market Commission, Επιτροπή Κεφαλαιαγοράς) supervises capital markets and broker-dealers, while the Bank of Greece covers banking and ECB-related prudential matters. EU-passported brokers (CySEC, MFSA, BaFin) make up most of the cross-border retail offering, with several Greek-language CySEC brokers heavily marketing to Greek residents. SEPA and the IRIS instant-payment system dominate funding rails.

Foreign brokers do not act as withholding agents; income is self-declared via the AADE (Independent Authority for Public Revenue) annual return.
ESMA leverage caps apply (1:30 majors, 1:20 minors and gold, lower for other CFDs). Negative balance protection is mandatory. The HCMC publishes a public warnings list for unauthorised entities targeting Greek residents.
