Exchanges barred from listing
Liechtenstein
Trading platforms may not list privacy coins whose holders cannot be identified, under EU MiCA rules, applied in Liechtenstein since 1 February 2025.
The rule
- Exchange listing
- Barred
- Holding by individuals
- Allowed
- Mixers
- No specific rule
- Self-hosted wallets
- Not checked
- In force from
- 1 Feb 2025
- Confidence
- Confirmed
Dates: the rule has been in force since 1 Feb 2025.
Liechtenstein's EEA MiCA Implementation Act (EWR-MiCA-DG) entered into force on 1 February 2025 and, according to the Financial Market Authority, pre-implemented MiCA, Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, until MiCA became part of the EEA Agreement through Joint Committee Decision No 041/2025, which entered into force on 24 June 2025; providers registered under the TVTG could continue without MiCA authorisation until 1 July 2026. Its Article 76(3) requires a trading platform's operating rules to prevent the admission to trading of crypto-assets with an inbuilt anonymisation function unless the platform can identify their holders and transaction history; it does not bar individuals from holding privacy coins. The EU AML Regulation (EU) 2024/1624, which from 10 July 2027 bars crypto firms in the EU from keeping accounts that allow anonymisation, including through anonymity-enhancing coins, is still under scrutiny for incorporation into the EEA Agreement, so it does not yet apply to Liechtenstein. As exchange behaviour, Kraken halted Monero trading and deposits for clients registered in the EEA on 31 October 2024, citing regulatory changes. No rule aimed at mixers was found in the instruments checked.
Instrument: Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA), Article 76(3), pre-implemented by the EEA MiCA Implementation Act (EWR-MiCA-DG) from 1 February 2025 and part of the EEA Agreement since 24 June 2025

Exchanges and their restrictions
The 14 exchanges on this site, with the 32 spot markets they list for the seven coins, as checked on 13 Oct 2026. The exchange data records where each listing is restricted as text, so this page quotes each passage that names Liechtenstein, the EEA or the EU, and marks the cells it comes from. An exchange with no such passage has no restriction for Liechtenstein on record here, which does not mean that it is licensed there or open to its residents. A listing is not an endorsement.

Self-hosted wallets for the seven coins
The nine wallets on the Wallets page that hold at least one of the seven coins, with the coins and platforms each supports. The wallet data does not record where each wallet is offered, so this list is the same on every country page, and Liechtenstein's own rules, set out above, apply to their use. A listing is not an endorsement.
