Fiscalidad y regulación cripto con Cristina Carrascosa

Cristina Carrascosa · Legal Expert

Cristina Carrascosa joins Bit2Me Experts to unpack how regulation and tax law affect Bitcoin and other crypto-assets in Europe today. As a lawyer specialised in blockchain — a member of the Legal Expert Group of the European Commission’s EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum and then head of the blockchain practice at Pinsent Masons — she translates complex regulation into actionable guidance for retail investors, companies, and compliance teams. The conversation covers tax obligations for retail holders in Spain and the EU, the role of MiCA in harmonising crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), and the points where legal uncertainty still slows adoption. Carrascosa explains why recording and tracing transactions is not bureaucratic red tape but a foundation for operating with legal certainty, and how regulated and unregulated platforms require different due diligence standards. She also discusses responsible innovation: how companies can grow while staying audit-ready, what to check before using exchanges, custodians, or DeFi tools, and why legal education is as relevant as technical education in crypto. If you need clarity on Bitcoin’s legal framework in Europe — from EU policy to the taxpayer’s day-to-day — this session condenses the perspective of one of the sector’s most cited practitioners.
