A day like today, 10 years ago, Cryptooticias published its first article

On April 24, 2015, cryptootics reported that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were exempt from the value added tax (VAT) in Spain. That news marked the beginning of a decade in which we have accompanied BTC on a truly exciting trip, telling stories about their potential to change lives in corners around the world.

From that publication, Spain began to consolidate as a key country for the development of companies and projects based on cryptoactive. At the same time, Its regulatory framework advanced towards a clearer taxation: In 2021 the obligation was established that the service providers with cryptocurrencies are registered in the Bank of Spain, and in 2023 new requirements were added to reinforce the law of prevention of capital money laundering.

Spain has also been a pioneer in the adoption of the Mica Regulationsimplementing it six months before the deadline established by the European Union (December 2025). This regulation creates an integral framework that covers from the issuance of digital assets to custody services, which has allowed entities such as BBVA to explore the market. Since December 30, 2024, Mica entered into force in the European Union, including Spain, for cryptocurrency service providers.

Thus, cryptootics began to put a special focus on what happened in Spanish -speaking countries, becoming an informative lighthouse for communities from Mexico to Argentina, through Spain and beyond, without neglecting what was happening in the rest of the world.

We also accompany relevant moments such as the Halving of 2016, 2020 and 2024, and Donald Trump’s return to the White House, this time with a more proactive position towards the sector.

Of course, we have also followed the controversies, such as the New York Bitlicense, which caused an exodus of companies for its strict requirements, and The Dao’s hacking, which in 2016 tested the decentralized governance of Ethereum.
