Slovenia

Slovenia's Finance Ministry plans to tax transactions on exchanging fiat money into cryptocurrencies. To ensure that the new framework does not impact the economy, the authority is seeking feedback from the local community before actually implementing it.

In 2018, the largest Slovenian shopping mall, BTC City,  announced its plans to become a ‘Genuine Bitcoin City’ and add cryptocurrencies as a means of payment in its shops. To bring this plan to fruition, the Eligma company designed a cryptocurrency transaction system called “Elipay”. In September,  the Elipay mobile app was launched in Slovenia, with the international market to follow.

The largest Slovenian shopping mall, located in Ljubljana, will be transformed into a ‘Genuine Bitcoin City’. All the 500 shops in the mall will be required to accept Bitcoin as a payment option.
