Slovenian capital Ljubljana elected as the “most crypto -friendly” city
The Slovenian capital Ljubljana was named the most crypto -friendly city in the world by the migration consulting company Multipolitan.
The city lies in front of the second-placed Hong Kong and the Swiss economic metropolis of Zurich, which in the Crypto-Friendly Cities Index des Crypto Reports 2025 are on par.
The index comprised 20 cities and evaluated their crypto friendliness based on regulations, tax framework conditions, lifestyle factors and digital and crypto infrastructure.
Multipolitan stated that the assessment of factors such as the license framework of a city, the capital gains tax rates, the per capita BIP, the affordability of living space and the internet speed were taken into account.
“The presence of crypto monetary machines and the acceptance of cryptocurrencies in retail were analyzed to reflect the native crypto culture of every city,” said the report. “A high concentration of these factors brought the highest score.”
The city state Singapore and the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, took fourth and fifth place after second place. Both cities were attractive for companies anyway because they collect low or no taxes at all, but they also worked specifically to attract crypto companies with industry-specific licensing and regulatory systems.
Madison, the capital of the US state of Wisconsin, was the only city in North and South America that landed on the index, reaching 11th place, as well as the Latvian capital Riga, the Qatarian capital Doha and the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh.
Slovenia open to crypto
Slovenia is also at the forefront of the Crypto WEALTH Concentration Index of Multipolitan, which combines crypto ownership rates and trading volumes and realizes that the average Slovenian crypto owner has a wealth worth $ 240,500.
This value exceeded the second-placed Cyprus by more than $ 65,000, with the average crypto investor in Cyprus holding around $ 175,000. Hong Kong took third place with an average stock of $ 97,500.
At the end of the 20 places, the United States ranks 17th with an average crypto stock of around $ 23,300, just before Malaysia with an average inventory of almost $ 21,000.
As part of the EU, Slovenia regulates cryptocurrencies within the framework of the European regulatory regulations called Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), which were mostly received positively by the industry.
