Best brokers for crypto in Hungary
6 of the 7 brokers we review offer crypto to residents of Hungary. XTB leads, as it does wherever it qualifies; the other two places go to brokers available locally. Because Hungary uses the Hungarian forint, currency conversion is part of the real cost of investing here.
By Broksal Team, investing in forex and CFD markets since 2017. Updated . How we test
How we score
Each broker gets five sub-scores out of 5:
Regulation and safety (30%), trading costs (25%), platforms and tools (20%), range of markets (15%) and ease of use (10%). The overall score is the weighted average, rounded to one decimal.
Availability is checked against each broker's published country lists. The ranking order is editorial and reflects our commercial agreements, so it does not always follow the scores. Full methodology
Advertiser disclosure
Broksal is free to use because some brokers pay us a commission when you open an account through our links. This can influence which broker we feature and the order in which brokers appear.
Commissions never change the facts we publish about regulation, fees or country availability, and they cost you nothing.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Each broker publishes its own current loss percentage on its website.
Crypto from Hungary: the rules
In the EU, crypto services fall under MiCA. Crypto CFDs are limited to 2:1 leverage for retail clients in Hungary. Locally, financial services are supervised by the Central Bank of Hungary (MNB).
Currency costs when investing from Hungary
Hungary uses the Hungarian forint (HUF). Most of what you buy here is priced in USD or EUR, so unless your account is in the same currency as the asset, each purchase is converted. Published conversion fees: XTB 0.5% on currency conversion; Interactive Brokers 0.2 basis points of trade value, minimum $2; eToro 0.75% at the base Club tier (lower for higher tiers).
