Hyperliquid in Greece

The legal situation in Greece

Greece is not on Hyperliquid's restricted list and the frontend is not geoblocked. As an EU member state it applies MiCA (licensing for crypto-asset service providers; transitional periods ended by 1 July 2026) and the ESMA-coordinated national CFD measures, which ESMA said on 24 Feb 2026 likely cover crypto perpetual futures. Greece's first MiCA authorisations (BCash, Xenios Blockchain Group, Capital Wallet Greece, Piraeus Bank) appeared on ESMA's register in Sept 2026; Binance withdrew its Greek MiCA application on 24 June 2026. No action naming Hyperliquid was found.

Key facts

• ESMA's 24 Feb 2026 public statement says crypto 'perpetual futures' are likely CFDs, so national CFD product-intervention measures apply: for retail clients of EU firms, leverage on crypto underlyings is capped at 2:1, with margin close-out and negative-balance protection.
• MiCA transitional periods ended EU-wide by 1 July 2026; crypto-asset service providers without MiCA authorisation must stop serving clients in the EU.
• First Greek MiCA CASPs were added to ESMA's register in Sept 2026; the HCMC is competent for most, the Bank of Greece for Piraeus Bank.
• No action by the HCMC specifically naming Hyperliquid was found.
• Tax: Greece has no dedicated crypto tax framework yet; in June 2026 the Finance Ministry was preparing a 15% capital gains tax on digital assets (first EUR 500 exempt).
