High-net-worth investors face potential tax liability increases on cryptocurrency gains, incentivizing profit-taking and reducing speculative investment appetite. Retail investors experience portfolio losses and increased volatility. Reduced investment in digital assets may limit innovation funding and emerging fintech opportunities.
