According to the selection by the immigration consultancy company Multipolitan, Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, has been rated as the most cryptocurrency-friendly city in the world.

In the cryptocurrency-friendly city index of the 2025 cryptocurrency report, Ljubljana ranks above the joint second place cities of Hong Kong and the Swiss economic hub of Zurich.

The index ranks 20 cities based on their regulatory framework, tax environment, living factors, and digital and cryptocurrency infrastructure to assess their friendliness towards cryptocurrency.

Multipolitan indicates that the assessment content includes aspects such as the city's licensing framework, capital gains tax rate, per capita GDP, housing affordability, and internet speed.

The company explained: "We analyzed the distribution of cryptocurrency ATMs and retail adoption rates to reflect the level of cryptocurrency cultural penetration in each city. The high concentration of these assets received the highest score."

Following the joint second place, Singapore and Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, ranked fourth and fifth respectively. These two cities are attractive to businesses due to their low or zero tax policies, and they also attract cryptocurrency companies by establishing industry-specific licensing and regulatory systems.

Madison, the capital of Wisconsin, USA, is the only city in the Americas to make the list, ranking 11th alongside Riga, the capital of Latvia, Doha, the capital of Qatar, and Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

In the cryptocurrency wealth concentration index of Multipolitan, Slovenia also ranks first. The index combines cryptocurrency ownership rates and trading volumes, with data showing that Slovenian cryptocurrency holders hold an average of $240,500 in assets.

This figure is $65,000 higher than that of the second-ranked Cyprus, where cryptocurrency holders have an average asset of about $175,000. Hong Kong ranks third, with an average asset holding of $97,500.

In this list of 20 countries and regions, the United States ranks low, coming in at 17th place, with an average cryptocurrency holding of about $23,300, just slightly higher than Malaysia's $21,000.

As a member state of the European Union, Slovenia regulates cryptocurrency according to the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which is widely praised by the industry.

The blockchain advocacy organization Blockchain Alliance Europe is headquartered in Ljubljana. The city is also home to the blockchain real estate platform Blocksquare, which partnered with Vera Capital on April 18 to plan the tokenization of $1 billion worth of U.S. real estate.
