DeFi Stays Outside Rules as Regulators Tighten Elsewhere

boss

The European Union’s new crypto tax reporting regime under DAC8 is intentionally focused on enforceable targets, leaving decentralized finance (DeFi) outside its scope for now. Colby Mangels, a former adviser to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and now Taxbit’s global head of government solutions, said the rules prioritize identifiable intermediaries such as custodians and exchanges, which will be required to collect and report standardized user activity data under the OECD’s Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). However, the DeFi carve-out may not last. Mangels said tax authorities are…

Why Proof-of-Reserves Isn’t Enough to Trust Crypto Exchanges

boss

What is proof-of-reserves? At its core, proof-of-reserves is a public demonstration that a custodian holds the assets it claims to hold on behalf of users, typically using cryptographic methods and onchain transparency. If every crypto exchange can publish a proof-of-reserves (PoR) report, why can withdrawals still be delayed or halted during a crisis? The truth is that proof-of-reserves is not a trust guarantee. It shows whether verifiable assets exist on a platform at a single point in time, but it does not confirm that the platform is solvent, liquid or…

Bitcoin Loses Ground in Global Asset Rankings After Violent Selloff

boss

Bitcoin’s sharp reversal this week has pushed it outside the world’s 10 largest assets by market capitalization, underscoring how difficult price action has been in recent months as markets continue to digest the cryptocurrency industry’s largest forced liquidation on record. Hovering around $83,000 per coin, Bitcoin’s (BTC) market capitalization has slipped to about $1.65 trillion, ranking it 11th globally. That places it just behind Saudi Aramco, the state-run oil giant, and below Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), according to market data trackers. By contrast, gold has surged to the top…
