As the cryptocurrency craze is increasing in the world, on the other hand, many countries are showing interest in recognizing this as a legal tender. At first, El Salvador recognized bitcoin as an official currency, then now another country has joined the club. Despite having gold and diamond reserves, the Central African Republic, which is counted among the poor countries, has also adopted it as a currency.
Decisions are taken in the interest of citizens
According to the report, the government of the Central African Republic on Wednesday approved bitcoin as an official currency. Significantly, a bill was introduced in the Parliament here to adopt cryptocurrency as a currency, which was adopted unanimously. According to a statement issued by the office of the country's President Faustin Archangel Toudera, this decision has been taken to improve the lives of the citizens of the country. The country's president, which has been hit by violence for a long time, has supported the bill, saying that this step will help improve the standard of living of the country's citizens and will open the door to huge opportunities for the Central African Republic.
El Salvador took steps in 2021
El Salvador is the first country in the world to recognize bitcoin as a currency. It was adopted here on 7 September 2021 last year. Not only this but discussions about building a bitcoin city in the country had also come to the fore. According to the report, to rollout this decision, El Salvador bought 400 bitcoins, which at the time were worth around $21 million by trading price. At the same time, despite the decline in its price, it is touching the sky.
Cuba also included in this list
After El Salvador, Cuba became the only country that has decided to legally recognize cryptocurrencies. On the one hand, there is a right-wing government in El Salvador. According to the Cuban government, the Central Bank of Cuba can now authorize the use of cryptocurrencies for socio-economic purposes.
Canada-Israel is also in favor
According to a report, the Canada Revenue Authority (CRA) generally treats cryptocurrencies as a commodity for the country's Income Tax Act. 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.
license is required in Thailand
Thailand is also included in the list of these countries. Here a license is required to do business in digital assets. Let us tell here that most of these countries have not considered cryptocurrencies as legal tender, but these countries are aware of how much value they have today. Therefore, they consider them as a medium of exchange or units of account.
