Hungary Repeals Crypto Validator Requirement Amid MiCA Licensing

Hungary has repealed its crypto validator requirement, reducing an additional layer of friction for certain transactions. The move comes as crypto services in the country restart under the European Union's MiCA regime. CoinCash is preparing to resume operations after receiving MiCA authorization.

The validator requirement was introduced through Hungary's 2024 crypto assets law, which took effect on July 1, 2025. It required a licensed validator to verify details before issuing a compliance declaration for certain crypto conversions, including information tied to the origin of crypto assets and wallet ownership.

Finance Minister Kármán András said the government rolled back the rule because earlier regulations disrupted Hungary's crypto market and led some providers to stop operating locally. CoinCash's operator, Tiwala Solutions, received authorization from the National Bank of Hungary under MiCA on July 20.
