Crypto regulation comparison

Legal
Restricted
Cryptocurrency is legal in New Zealand and treated as a form of property for tax purposes. The IRD taxes crypto depending on the purpose of acquisition — if bought with the intention to sell, gains are taxable income. New Zealand does not have a formal capital gains tax, but crypto profits are often taxable under income tax rules. Exchanges are not specifically licensed but must comply with AML/CFT requirements.
Tajikistan has restricted cryptocurrency activities. The National Bank has warned against crypto use and financial institutions are prohibited from dealing in digital currencies.
