The BCC has explicitly banned cryptocurrencies in the DRC. Bitcoin and all virtual currencies are neither regulated nor authorized. The BCC has warned against pyramid schemes using crypto.

India legalized crypto taxation in the 2022 Union Budget, imposing a flat 30% tax on all crypto gains with no deductions for losses. A 1% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on crypto transactions above thresholds also applies. The Supreme Court struck down the RBI's 2018 banking ban in 2020, and India is now developing a broader regulatory framework.
