  Yes, some countries do tax unrealized capital gains on cryptocurrencies. For example, the United States considers cryptocurrencies as property, and any increase in value is subject to capital gains tax. This means that if you hold onto your cryptocurrencies and their value increases, you may owe taxes on the unrealized gains, even if you haven't sold them.

  No, there are no countries that currently tax unrealized capital gains on cryptocurrencies. Most countries only tax cryptocurrencies when they are sold or exchanged for fiat currency. However, it's important to note that tax laws are constantly evolving, and it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or accountant to understand the specific regulations in your country.
