PÉNZÜGYI ADATOK

On 2 August 2026, Decree No. 7/2026 (VII. 30.) of the Supervisory Authority for Regulatory Affairs (SZTFH)entered into force. The Decree lays down the detailed rules governing the authorisation and registration of crypto-asset service providers engaged in crypto-asset exchange validation activities. At the same time, it repeals the previously applicable SZTFH Decrees No. 10/2025 (VI. 26.) and No. 12/2025 (VI. 26.), which regulated the same subject matter.

The primary objective of the new Decree is to align the Hungarian regulatory framework with the European Union's legal framework governing crypto-assets while ensuring a more coherent and transparent system for the authorisation and supervision of service providers operating in this sector.

The President of the Supervisory Authority for Regulated Activities (SZTFH) has issued Decree No. 6/2026. (VI. 8.) SZTFH, which comprehensively amends certain decrees on the subject of cybersecurity.

The Decree No. 5/2026 (III. 16.) of the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH), which entered into force on 20 March 2026, specifically amended Decree No. 4/2024 (III. 21.) of the NMHH governing out-of-court dispute resolution bodies (including the Online Platform Dispute Resolution Council, OPVT). The explicit objective of the amendment was to eliminate the practical obstacles of the previous regulatory framework: to reduce administrative burdens, to accelerate proceedings, and to ensure that the enforcement of users’ rights is free of charge.
