Spain: Securities-Related Laws

The Director-General of the National Securities Market Commission (“CNMV”) recently announced that Spain would apply Spanish securities regulation to cryptocurrency until a mature European framework was established.

CNMV also recently clarified that Spanish law offered ways by which investors could legally invest directly into cryptocurrencies. Under Law 22/2014, investors may participate in:

  • Closed-end investment funds (“FICC”)
  • Closed-end investment companies (“SICC”)
  • Closed-end collective investment entities (“EICC”)
