  Unfortunately, there are no specific tax exemptions for receiving cryptocurrency as a gift in most countries. Cryptocurrency is generally treated as property for tax purposes, and any increase in value from the time of acquisition to the time of gift may be subject to capital gains tax. It's important to keep accurate records of the value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the gift and consult with a tax advisor to ensure compliance with tax laws.
