Is Your Crypto Trade Taxable? 4 Things You Need To Know 🎤 Mr Mahad Meraj LLM, Legal Consultant, Crypto Accountants Corporate Member, The BBA #bitcoin #crypto #tax #finance #trading #nostr

📍 NEW JBBA RESEARCH ALERT: There are 3 Foundational Pillars of Decentralisation (in addition to Blockchain): ➡️ Decentralised Domain Name Systems (#DNS) ➡️ Decentralised #Hosting ➡️ Decentralised #Storage The current transitional phase from centralised systems to blockchain-based systems, often termed "Web 2.5", remains structurally vulnerable due to its persistent reliance on centralised infrastructure for frontend delivery and domain routing. This paper provides a comparative analysis of 20 prominent protocols, evaluating mechanisms ranging from overlay networks such as the Ethereum Name Service (#ENS) to content-addressed systems such as the InterPlanetary File System (#IPFS) and permanent cryptographic ledgers such as Arweave. ✍ From Joseph Matiko of Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology, 🇹🇿 Tanzania. 🌐 Published Open Access in the Journal of The British Blockchain Association (#JBBA):

🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸 Yesterday, HM Treasury published the UK–US Joint Statement on Stablecoins, issued through the Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future. It’s a short document, but a consequential one. It signals where two of the world’s most important financial jurisdictions intend to converge. ➡️ KEY HIGHLIGHTS: → Stablecoins are affirmed as a genuine vehicle for innovation, not a threat to be contained. Both governments intend to enable their use in payments, settlement, and capital markets across borders. → “Comparable outcomes for comparable risks.” The two regimes will be tailored, not identical, but the aim is to avoid market distortion and keep cross-border competition alive. → Full backing, at least 1:1, in high-quality liquid assets. A clear line in the sand on reserves, with holder protection at its core. → No fragmentation by ring-fencing. Prudential requirements shouldn’t trap resources jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction in ways that break operational efficiency or stifle innovation. → Insolvency clarity. In a failure, holders get a protected legal claim on reserves — ranking ahead of other creditors. This is the detail that turns principle into confidence. → A pathway to mutual market access. Both sides intend to explore how stablecoins issued in one jurisdiction can reach the other. The direction of travel is unmistakable: coexistence of multiple forms of digital money: stablecoins, tokenised deposits, and beyond - underpinned by rules designed to enable rather than obstruct. For everyone building in this space, the question is no longer whether regulated stablecoins have a role. It’s how quickly the market moves to occupy the ground these two governments cleared. 🔗 [link to HM Treasury statement in comments] #Stablecoins #UK #US

HMRC surveillance on crypto assets is scaling up under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). Driven by Statutory Instrument 2025-744, major exchanges are sharing user data directly with UK authorities. Following 65,000 nudge letters sent out over the last year, compliance enforcement is hardening. If you are holding or trading in the UK, it’s critical to establish proactive, rock-solid tax positions to protect your liabilities. 🎤 Mr Mahad Meraj LLM, Legal Consultant, Crypto Accountants Corporate Member, The BBA #Bitcoin #CryptoTax #HMRC #CARF #RegTech #UK
