Israel has included virtual currency as a financial asset under its Financial Services Act. In Israel, a 25 percent capital gains tax has been imposed on cryptocurrencies as a financial asset. Germany considers cryptocurrencies as a financial instrument.

Thailand is also included in the list of these countries. Here a license is required to do business in digital assets.

Therefore, they consider them as a medium of exchange or units of account.
