Argentina plans to impose a 0.6% tax on cryptocurrency exchanges

On November 19th, Argentina plans to impose a 0.6% tax on companies that provide cryptocurrency trading services. Argentina charges a 0.6% tax on bank credits and loans, but cryptocurrency exchanges currently do not pay this tax (exempted due to registration as a fintech company that provides payment service providers (PSP)). A senior executive of the Argentine cryptocurrency company stated that the tax will affect exchanges that have accounts in Argentine banks, adding that exchanges may pass on the new costs to cryptocurrency prices in Argentine pesos.

German central bank official: China’s digital currency development is in a leading position

On November 18, Bartz, a member of the board of directors of the German Bundesbank (Bundesbank), stated in Frankfurt on the 18th that central banks around the world are currently discussing the introduction of digital currencies, and the Central Bank of China is already in a leading position in this regard. On the same day, Bartz delivered a video speech at the “China Day” event of the 24th Frankfurt Euro Financial Week, saying that China has always been at the forefront of innovation, just as paper money began to circulate in Europe after centuries after China used paper money in history. In July of this year, the European Central Bank announced the launch of the digital euro project and launched a two-year related investigation and research. The Bundesbank participated as a member of the euro system. At the same time, the digital renminbi pilot is accelerating in China. Bartz said that the central banks of Germany and China have conducted in-depth and convenient exchanges around the pros and cons of digital currencies. He said that competition is one of the key drivers of economic development, but competition is only one way to promote innovation, and another important way is communication.
