Uzbekistan Establishes a Special Economic Zone Exclusively for Miners, with Tax Exemptions Extended to 2035
According to bits.media, Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a decree establishing the Besqala Mining Valley Special Economic Zone in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Miners operating within the zone will enjoy tax incentives, valid until January 1, 2035. The zone will be connected to a unified power system powered by renewable energy and hydrogen. Cryptographic assets mined within the zone may be sold or exchanged via domestic Uzbek exchanges or overseas platforms. Mining licenses will be issued by the State Agency for Perspective Projects. Currently, Uzbekistan mandates that cryptocurrency transactions be conducted exclusively through state-licensed service providers; peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions are explicitly prohibited by law, digital assets cannot be used for payment or settlement, and only legal entities are permitted to engage in mining activities. The country introduced its mining licensing regime in 2023, with the first license officially issued only at the end of February 2026.
Poland Has Not Completed MiCA-Related Legislation, Prompting Some Crypto Firms to Consider Relocating Overseas
According to Cointelegraph, Poland’s parliament has yet to pass the domestic legislation aligning with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework, making Poland the last EU member state to complete this legislative process. With the MiCA transition period set to end on July 1, continued delays in enacting the bill could pose greater compliance challenges for local crypto businesses operating in the European market; some companies are already considering relocating to countries such as Latvia and the Czech Republic. Previously, Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the bill twice, citing its overly burdensome regulatory requirements and potential adverse impact on small enterprises.
The draft “Financial Law” has concluded its public consultation period, with minimal coverage of issues such as the legal status of digital currencies and the regulatory boundaries for crypto assets.
According to Caixin, the one-month public consultation period for the “Draft Financial Law of the People’s Republic of China” concluded today (April 19), marking the first overarching financial law—both in China and globally—to bear the name “financial law.” A key issue drawing intense market attention is the draft’s expansion of financial regulators’ powers into quasi-judicial authority. Under Article 55 and related provisions, financial regulatory authorities are empowered to review and copy property rights information, communication records, and transaction records of relevant entities and individuals during investigations into financial violations; where evidence exists indicating suspected transfer or concealment of illicit funds or securities, authorities may directly freeze or seal such assets; and even suspects may be barred from leaving the country during the investigation period. Moreover, Zeng Gang, Chief Expert and Director of the Shanghai Financial Development Laboratory, argues that the Financial Law should also strengthen its focus on and coverage of emerging financial sectors. Issues already sparking broad global debate—including AI-driven financial decision-making, the legal status of digital currencies, and the regulatory boundaries for crypto assets—are barely addressed in the draft. Striking a dynamic balance between rule-of-law-based regulation and innovation-friendly inclusivity remains an unresolved challenge posed by this legislation.
