Morten Andersen 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 Morten works on

Morten focuses on European and Nordic regulation, the rollout of the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation across the EEA, and how national regulators apply it. 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.

Morten 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
