Rules in Croatia

Quoted from the regulators. Coinish only links to providers whose entity is allowed to serve Croatia residents.

Forex

Local licence required

Brokers need MiFID II authorisation from an EEA regulator; firms authorised elsewhere in the EEA may serve residents under the European passport. Retail forex is offered as CFDs, which HANFA permanently restricts for retail investors in Croatia (leverage limits, margin close-out, negative balance protection).

Crypto

Local licence required

Since the MiCA transitional period ended on 1 July 2026, crypto platforms serving EU residents need MiCA authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) in an EU member state. In Croatia that means a Hanfa-authorised CASP or an EU CASP notified to Hanfa.

“On 1 July 2026, the transitional period under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on markets in crypto-assets (MiCA) came to an end in Croatia and across the European Union.”
