Fredrik Filipsson is a co founder and editor of wherelegalcrypto. He helps run the index that answers, country by country, whether crypto is legal, how it is taxed, and which exchanges are available, and he is one of the two people accountable for every status the site publishes.

What Fredrik works on

Fredrik focuses on exchange availability research, reading platform terms of use and official registers to confirm where a platform genuinely serves users and where it is restricted. Every legality and availability call is graded against primary sources: the named regulator, the relevant statute or rule, the official register, and public enforcement actions. Where a position is unclear or contested, the page says so rather than guessing.

Fredrik sets and applies the editorial method described on the editorial standards page, and reviews status changes on the highest traffic country and exchange pages on a regular cycle.

Areas of focus

Crypto regulation MiCA and the EU framework Exchange availability and licensing Crypto taxation AML rules for VASPs
