Not sure how widely known this is, but I don't think it's getting the reach it deserves.

Hungary is quietly passing laws that make it nearly impossible for exchanges to operate or for citizens to buy Bitcoin at all.

In short:
"As of July 2025, Hungary has unique crypto validation requirements in effect, impacting approximately 500,000 Hungarian crypto owners.

The law does not define what validation means. This creates legal uncertainty: neither individuals nor businesses can follow the rules, service providers are leaving the country, and violations may result in criminal liability.

On this website, only service providers that have publicly announced compliance, or have been confirmed compliant by SZTFH or Caduceus, are marked as 'Compliant.'"

This is directly affecting an engineer on our team. He built this site to raise awareness of what’s happening.

Please take a look and share to help raise awareness.

A timeline and all the exchanges that are now leaving or restricted is listed below

What excites me most about what I do every day is recharging the power of your savings.

Every day, you trade your time, effort, and talent for money — a reflection of your hard-earned work. But when that money loses value over time, it sends the wrong message: don’t save for the long term — spend it while you can.

That’s the world most of us have grown up in.
Saving in traditional money meant watching your purchasing power quietly erode. To keep up, we’ve been pushed into becoming part-time money managers — chasing yield, picking funds, and jumping into markets we don’t fully understand. The assets we turn to are often illiquid, inflexible, opaque, confusing, and managed by others.

Bitcoin changes that.

It gives anyone the ability to store the value of their work in an asset that can’t be debased or taken away. It’s transparent, portable, and verifiable.

That’s what drives me every day at Hoseki:
building tools that help people see their savings as a better future — something that can be used on their own terms, for the things that matter most to them.

Because the future isn’t just about hoarding for yourself.
It’s about utilizing your hard-earned work for what’s most important to you.
