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.

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.
