Live Updates on Cryptocurrency Taxes in the Union Budget 2022


The crypto tax regime in India has finally arrived! The government has taken a conservative stance on crypto asset taxation, announcing a flat 30% tax on such income.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated in her Budget Speech 2022 that income from the transfer of virtual digital assets would be taxed at 30%. She also stated that no set off will be permitted in the event of a loss. Gifts of virtual digital assets would also be taxed in the recipient's hands.

The announcement of heavy tax on crypto income comes as a big disappointment for crypto investors. The Finance Minister also said that by 2023, a Blockchain-based and RBI-backed Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will be introduced.

"The clarity on taxation of digital assets is long overdue and was expected to be supplied this year," Sundara Rajan TK, Partner at DVS Advisors LLP, stated in response to the statement. The government's announcement of a 30% tax on digital assets, coupled with the launch of its own digital currency, indicates that the government intends to discourage such investments, with the intention that only HNIs make such investments and that the government will not allow cryptos to be used as currency."


Cryptocurrency experts and investors were anticipating clarity on taxation of gains from crypto assets in Budget 2022. Some experts believe that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will avoid directly addressing the cryptocurrency issue in her Budget Speech 2022. However, the Finance Minister was expected to make some crypto tax announcements.

DogeCoin (DOGE) Overtakes Terra (Luna) As The World's 10th Largest Cryptocurrency

By
In terms of market capitalization, Dogecoin (DOGE) has surpassed Terra (LUNA) to become the tenth largest cryptocurrency. The switch follows the accompanying drama in the Terra ecosystem, which has seen the price of the LUNA tank plummet in recent days. LUNA has dropped 28.16 percent in the previous week and is now trading at more than 50% below its all-time high set in December. The battle for supremacy between DOGE and LUNA continues to heat up. According to CryptoRank, Dogecoin has surpassed Terra (LUNA) in market capitalization once again. DOGE has a market cap of roughly $18.22 billion, while LUNA has a market worth of around $18.20 billion. Market participants, on the other hand, are pointing out that the switch was caused by a panic selloff in the LUNA market, not by a boom in DOGE.

According to Krypto Tribe tracker Santiment, the depletion h...

The stolen $750 million in Bitcoin (BTC) from the Bitfinex hack in 2016 is on the move.

By
A large amount of Bitcoin is on the move, which was previously linked to the 2016 Bitfinex exchange hack. Recently, the popular Twitter handle Whale Alert reported two such incidents in which Bitcoins worth more than $750 million were transferred to an unknown wallet. According to a recent report, more than 20,000 Bitcoins were moved in two separate transactions of 10,000 BTC each. This is the second time in the last year that hackers have moved funds stolen from the Bitfinex hack in 2016. At the time, 119,756 BTC were stolen from the exchange, causing the market to crash. Last year when Bitcoin was trading at its all-time high in mid-April 2021, the hackers had moved the first batch of Bitcoins worth $750 million. Will This Affect the Price of Bitcoin? It will be interesting to see if this move adds to the volatility of the Bitcoin price. Nearly 20% of the total Bitcoin stolen has been moved by hackers. While most exchanges have made it impossible to cash out stolen exchanges, hackers...
