  Sure! In Puerto Rico, income from cryptocurrency is treated as capital gains for tax purposes. This means that individuals who earn income from cryptocurrency are required to report it on their tax returns and pay taxes accordingly. The tax rate for capital gains in Puerto Rico is currently 10%. It's important to note that Puerto Rico has its own tax laws and regulations, which may differ from those in other jurisdictions. Therefore, it's advisable for individuals to consult with a tax professional who is familiar with Puerto Rico's tax system to ensure compliance.

Act 60, also known as the Export Services Act, provides tax incentives for businesses engaged in certain export services. These tax incentives can be particularly beneficial for individuals and businesses involved in the cryptocurrency industry.
