最新报道:Canada's proposed 30% tax on crypto mining has sparked industry backlash, with the Canadian Blockchain Consortium calling it "discriminatory and counterproductive." The tax, part of the 2024 federal budget, would apply to electricity used in digital asset mining starting 2022. Industry leaders argue it unfairly targets crypto miners while other data centers remain unaffected, potentially driving innovation and investment out of Canada. The Consortium warns the measure could undermine Canada's position in Web3 development and urges policymakers to reconsider, suggesting alternative approaches like carbon credits for sustainable mining operations. The government maintains the tax aims to address energy consumption concerns in the sector.
