Greece's parliament has approved a tax framework for crypto assets: 10% on individual capital gains, with the first €500 of annual gains exempt. Income from staking, crypto lending and liquidity provision is taxed as interest at 15%. The 10% gains rate is lower than the 15% floated earlier this year.

The measure was approved on Thursday, according to Greek Reporter. The article says the framework is not yet fully operational: implementing directives still have to be issued and the bill has to complete formal publication before its provisions take effect. It attributes the rules to the Finance Ministry and tax authorities and names no officials.

The source does not give a vote count, an effective date or an estimate of revenue.
