As Bitcoin prices soar, reaching nearly $82,000 this past year, Greece’s Ministry of Finance has announced the formation of a working group to establish regulations for the cryptocurrency market. The new framework aims to address tax obligations and the origins of funds related to digital assets. Economic Minister Kostis Hatzidakis emphasized the need for clear investment guidelines, while the Bank of Greece governor Yiannis Stournaras warned against private digital currencies due to potential inflation risks. The initiative aligns with broader European efforts to regulate and legitimize the digital currency landscape.
