As per a source, Sudan's central bank has advised residents against the usage or trading cryptocurrencies as the nation's currency keeps falling. According to the report, individuals engaging with digital currencies face dangers such as loss of value, financial crimes, and electronic piracy.
The Central Bank of Sudan (CBOS) cautioned amidst a deteriorating economic downturn, with Sudan's exports falling by 85% in January. The announcement comes as sources indicate that the pound, the country's currency, is getting weaker than the dollar on the black market. Sudanese inhabitants' rising involvement in cryptocurrency is a result of the country's worsening economic situation.

The CBOS, therefore, has advised that citizens engaging with cryptocurrency potentially face dangers, according to a report posted by Sudan News Agency. According to the central bank, such concerns derive from cryptos' failure to be classified as "money or even private money and property" under the nation's regulations.
The Indian Finance Bill 2022, which includes new 30% crypto tax laws, was adopted by Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian legislature, today and will enter into force on April 1.
The law is approved by the upper chamber of the legislature just a week after the lower house (Lok Sabha) approves it.
The Finance Bill was proposed in January during the legislature's budget session 2022-23. The Finance Bill changed tax regulations to levy a 30% crypto tax on ownership and exchanges of digital assets. Aside from that, investors will not be able to credit their losses against earnings, and each trading pair would be treated separately for tax purposes.
If a 30% tax wasn't harsh enough, the government then levied a 1% tax deduction at source (TDS) on every trade, stating that this would assist authorities in monitoring finances. On the other hand, exchange owners have claimed that the 1% TDS will dry up liquidity.
Many analysts, dealers, and exchange operators have studied the proposed law. On the other hand, the authorities opted to stick to their regressive policy without consulting the crypto environment's participants.

The new crypto tax was substantially motivated by nations' gambling and horse betting tax legislation, making it another source of resentment within the cryptocurrency industry. This means that the Indian authorities consider the cryptocurrency sector similar to gambling.
