The recommendations also contain a suggestion to let taxation of cryptocurrency kept outside of Israel be paid through the Bank of Israel. The plan would also establish an inter-ministerial commission to supervise the regulation of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO). Additionally, the guidelines urge the Bank of Israel to be given control over digital assets that have substantial stability or economic influence.
The proposal's main component is the taxation of cryptocurrency. Israel's tax office estimates that uncollected cryptocurrency taxes from 2019 to 2022 might total several billion shekels.
In recent months, Israeli government representatives have started dipping their fingers into the digital asset market. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) disclosed in October that it was investigating the creation of a digital asset trading system based on blockchain technology. The first permanent license to operate in cryptocurrency operations was given to a private business a month earlier by Israel's markets regulator.
