For an individual relocating to Hungary, private crypto gains become taxable only when you cash out to fiat or use crypto for real-world purchases, and are then taxed at a flat 15% personal income tax rate with no lower rate or exemption for long-term holding.
“Gains from crypto transactions are taxed at 15% PIT (the general tax rate in Hungary). No other tax or social security contribution is payable. Exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets is not taxable. Exchange of crypto-assets for goods/services is taxable in a similar way as their exchange to FIAT currency.” — Hungarian National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) via CMS summary of PIT crypto rules
