Evans said that the authorities of Paraguay do not planDevelop and launch your own cryptocurrency. One of the reasons for the legalization of cryptocurrencies was the large volume of cryptocurrency mining in the country due to an excess of cheap electricity. At the same time, foreign companies start a mining business and do not pay taxes, since this type of activity in the country is not taxed.

It is expected that bills legalizing cryptocurrencies and mining in Paraguay will appear next year.
