If passed, one of his bills would define in Kentucky law various cryptocurrency-related terms, assert the monetary value of cryptocurrencies, and recognize their ownership and exchange. The other would establish special-purpose banks organized as corporations to manage virtual currency and other digital assets.

    Metaverse news

    • China’s biggest city Shanghai released its five-year development plan, which included encouraging metaverse use in public services, business offices, and other areas, reported CBNC.

    Exchanges news

    • The Indian Goods and Services Tax (GST) department has initiated investigations against crypto exchange WazirX for evading tax worth Rs 40.5 crore (USD 5.46m). The indirect tax department claims that WazirX issued its own cryptoasset, WRX, but refused to pay GST on that, per Economic Times.
