Israeli tax officials have launched an investigation into developers who digitized stones from the Western Wall and sold them as NFTs on their website, Holyrocknftcom.
A total of 1,700 tokenized relics were sold for $2.2 million, yet not a single shekel was paid to the state budget. Under Israeli law, any income earned from owning or selling digital assets is subject to a 25% tax.

While the NFT creators have been let off with a warning, they were required to stop selling Jerusalem NFTs and transfer control of their wallets to the state.

Here's a wild idea – can a digital note be slipped among the digital stones, secretly wishing for putin's speedy demise? Who knows, maybe it'll work?
