Good day, I'm seeking clarification on a matter regarding cryptocurrency transactions. I'm wondering, if I were to sell or trade my cryptocurrency holdings, would I be required to pay capital gains tax on the profits? I understand that the tax laws surrounding digital assets can vary, and I'm simply seeking to understand if my country's taxation system would classify these gains as taxable income. Your insights into this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.

Firstly, the crypto asset must be held for a minimum duration of six months. This ensures that the asset is not being traded frequently for short-term gains, which are typically taxed.

Secondly, the trading turnover must be kept within a certain limit. Specifically, it should not exceed five times the value of the holdings at the start of the financial year.
