In Canada, Australia, and a handful of other countries, leaving now triggers a tax bill on Bitcoin gains that have never been sold. Both countries treat the moment someone stops being a tax resident as a disposal, calculating the gain at that day’s market price whether or not a single coin ever changes hands. Jeremy Savory, CEO of the relocation firm Millionaire Migrant, said more of his clients in Canada, Australia and the UK now want to move before an expected Bitcoin rally, well before any decision to sell. He told CryptoSlate: “The planning question has moved from where to…

The funding rates remained positive, and the long volume in the derivatives market slightly outnumbered the short positions. Selling pressure from miners was down, and it was trading within a…

The BlackRock NABTU partnership, formalized through a memorandum of understanding signed on August 10, 2026, is one of the clearest signals yet that Wall Street’s biggest infrastructure investors see labor, not capital, as the next bottleneck for AI data centers. Key takeaways BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners and the AI Infrastructure Partnership signed a non-binding MOU with North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) on August 10, 2026. The deal targets a…

The tension between the US and Iran, which has been ongoing for months, is still not over. Although steps towards a compromise have been taken, the two countries have yet to reach a final agreement, and the US has made a new move. Accordingly, the US has implemented a new sanctions measure that will further increase economic pressure on Iran. Under the new campaign announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the US aims to sever Iran’s economic ties on a global scale, while also sending a message that third parties trading with Iran could face secondary sanctions.

The recent halt in military exchanges between the United States and Iran shifted investors’ attention away from traditional safe-haven assets and back toward risk-driven markets. Gold had rallied during the conflict as traders sought protection from geopolitical uncertainty. However, analysts later argued that easing tensions reduced the urgency for defensive positioning. Several market commentators expected gold to struggle near the $4,100 region after the conflict cooled, while Bitcoin [$BTC] stood to benefit if investors rotated capital toward higher-risk assets. That shift arrived just as broader market sentiment improved across equities and digital assets. Moreover, traders remained cautious because macroeconomic events…
