Uzbekistan or formerly known as the Soviet nation is planning to legalize the crypto exchanges in the country and also with an intention to boost the market-based economy by providing tax benefits.
A presidential decree has been passed in order to promote the crypto industry and assist in setting up blockchain based companies. In this direction, a document named ‘On measures to organize the activities of crypto-exchanges in Uzbekistan’ is published. This will be an official document which provides guidelines for using cryptocurrencies.
Interestingly, a separate section is allocated for crypto-trading with a different set of rules also known as special normative acts.
