CryptoWorld News reports that the blockchain analytics platform Chainalysis has released a report indicating that tax evaders have begun shifting to new digital assets such as Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens, attempting to conceal their wealth from tax authorities.

Recently, the Economic and Financial Police Force in Foggia, Italy, uncovered a tax evasion case. The individuals involved are suspected of using the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol and the BRC-20 token standard to conceal 1 million euros (about $1.1 million) in unreported capital gains.

The investigation shows that the suspects used this technology to create tokens, then sold them in market transactions at several times their initial cost, and sent the profits back to their main wallets in Bitcoin for round-trip investment.
