In the backdrop the crypto market showing small signs of recoveries, LEO, Monero, Zcash, and Braintrust witnessed price drops.

“As more people become aware of cryptocurrencies and the technology that underlies them, it is likely that the number of people and businesses using these assets will continue to grow. Overall, it is important to keep in mind that the cryptocurrency sector is still relatively young and unpredictable, and it is possible that there will be significant changes and developments in the coming years,” Amanjot Malhotra, India Head of Bitay crypto exchange told Gadgets 360.

This year of 2023 is projected to see more nations formulate laws around cryptocurrencies and virtual digital assets (VDAs) to add a layer of safety for investors.

Italy, on December 2, officially decided to impose a 26 percent capital tax on profits exceeding $2,060 (roughly Rs.1.7 lakh) generated out of crypto trading.

On the other hand, UK, that is looking to establish itself as a global crypto hub, has decided revoke tax slabs for foreigners who are using local British crypto exchanges for buying cryptocurrencies.
