Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, has been recognized as the most crypto-friendly city globally by Multipolitan, a migration advisory firm. The city secured the top spot in the Crypto-Friendly Cities Index, surpassing Hong Kong and Zürich. The index, part of the 2025 Crypto Report, evaluated 20 cities based on regulations, tax environment, lifestyle factors, and digital infrastructure. Factors such as licensing frameworks, capital gains tax rates, GDP per capita, housing affordability, and internet speeds were considered. The presence of crypto ATMs and retail adoption rates also influenced the rankings. Singapore and Abu Dhabi followed closely, known for their business-friendly environments and industry-specific licensing for crypto companies. In contrast, the US ranked low on the list in terms of average crypto holdings. Slovenia also excelled in Multipolitan’s Crypto Wealth Concentration Index, with the average Slovenian holding around $240,500 worth of assets. This figure exceeded Cyprus and Hong Kong, showcasing Slovenia’s strong crypto embrace. The city is regulated under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and is home to notable blockchain projects like Blockchain Alliance Europe and Blocksquare, a real estate platform that recently partnered with Vera Capital to tokenize $1 billion in US real estate assets. The city’s crypto-friendly environment and robust infrastructure have positioned Ljubljana as a leading hub for the crypto community.
