Question 4

Is Ben Capital safe?

Never. No part of Ben Capital, and no genuine support agent, will ever ask for your 12 or 24 word recovery phrase. Anyone who asks for it is trying to steal from you.

Question 8

Is crypto legal in Sweden?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Crypto is legal in Sweden and everyone is free to use it. If you make a profit, you pay capital gains tax. Licences apply to companies that run regulated exchange services and hold customer funds; a non-custodial wallet like Ben Capital never holds your funds. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
