Cape Verde has no specific crypto tax law, so a relocating individual should expect crypto gains to be treated under general income/capital‑gains principles and potentially taxed at personal income tax rates up to about 27.5%, but the exact treatment is not officially clarified.

There are currently no specific articles or clauses in the Cabo Verde tax laws that govern the taxation of cryptocurrencies... The applicable tax rate for capital gains on cryptocurrency transactions in Cabo Verde is not specified in the tax laws. However, the general capital gains tax rate in Cabo Verde is 15%.[1] ... Cabo Verdean tax resident individuals are subject to personal income tax (PIT) on a worldwide basis... The total income will be subject to taxation at rates ranging between 16.5% and 27.5%.[3]” PwC summary of Cabo Verde tax law (no official crypto-specific guidance)
