Georgia is one of the most crypto-friendly countries globally. There is no capital gains tax for individuals on cryptocurrency, and the country has a significant crypto mining industry due to low electricity costs. The National Bank has taken a cautious but permissive approach, issuing guidance rather than strict regulation.

Cryptocurrency is legal in Indonesia and classified as a commodity (not currency). Bappebti regulated crypto since 2019, but authority transitioned to OJK (Financial Services Authority) in January 2025. Under PMK 50/2025 (effective August 2025), crypto transactions incur a 0.21% final income tax via domestic exchanges (1% via foreign platforms). VAT on crypto transfers was abolished as crypto was reclassified as digital financial assets.
