The UK government sent more than 81,000 warning letters during the 2025/2026 financial year to crypto holders it suspects of owing unpaid taxes. A freedom of information request seen by the BBC revealed that the volume of letters from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) had tripled from 27,714 in 2024. Unpaid taxes stem from crypto bull run HMRC believes most of the unpaid taxes stem from gains made during the crypto bull run between 2022 and 2025. The letters remind UK crypto users that if they sell, give away, exchange or make a purchase with crypto, they may need to…

Former Ethereum core developer Eric Connor has introduced ERC-8391, a proposed token standard aimed at improving how smart contracts handle market state information for tokenized stocks and other real-world assets. The standard seeks to address a critical gap in current tokenization frameworks: the inability to distinguish between a market that is simply closed and one that has halted trading or experienced a major event. Why ERC-8391 Matters for On-Chain Trading Tokenized stocks trade on blockchain networks 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whereas traditional exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange operate only about 32.5 hours per week.…

Top neocloud stocks are falling this week, erasing some of the gains they made last week when many of them published strong financial results. Nebius stock plunged to $241 from this month’s high of $280. Similarly, CoreWeave and TeraWulf tumbled to $93 and $15.62, respectively. TeraWulf, CoreWeave, and Nebius stocks amid AI bubble fears The ongoing WULF, CRWV, and NBIS stocks crash has happened because of the ongoing technology sell-off amid the rising bond yields. Nvidia, the posterchild of the AI boom, dropped to $219 from this week’s high of $227. Other top names like AMD, Oracle, and Broadcom also…

A cryptocurrency address linked to venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has begun accumulating $HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, according to data from TradingBits. The address has executed at least $8.49 million in purchases using a time-weighted average price (TWAP) strategy, with estimates suggesting a total accumulation target of 148,700 $HYPE, valued at approximately $12.15 million. Understanding the TWAP Strategy and Its Implications A TWAP order breaks a large trade into smaller, equally-sized chunks executed at regular intervals. This approach minimizes market impact and avoids drawing attention to a single large buy order. The use of TWAP…

“To achieve this, I’ve directed the CFTC staff to begin exploring rules to codify a CFTC market structure for crypto assets using the agency’s existing authorities,” Selig said, promising the agency will be in a position to move swiftly. And he said he’s also steered staff toward work with developers to build regulations to “offer their protocols in a legal and compliant manner in the United States, future-proofing developer protections once and for all.” The CFTC’s sister agency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, just this week proposed its first major crypto rule, known as Regulation Crypto Assets, to allow crypto…

Treasuries rallied across the curve as the oil move eased inflation worries, taking the 10-year yield down four basis points to 4.69% after it hit its highest since January 2025 last week. Nasdaq 100 futures and European share futures both gained 0.8%. Gold added 0.3% to about $4,060 an ounce. Falling oil, falling yields and rising stock futures usually give crypto a lift. This time bitcoin ignored all three — because the pressure on it is coming from a broken hardware wallet rather than from the macro. As CoinDesk reported Sunday, a third wave of sweeps against Coldcard-generated addresses were…

Ethereum developer Eric Conner has proposed a common status interface for tokenized assets, as onchain stocks trade continuously while the New York Stock Exchange opens for only 32.5 hours each week. ERC-8392 separates market closures from feed failures EthHub founder Eric Conner introduced the proposal in an Aug. 24 X post, describing it as an asset status interface for tokenized stocks and real-world assets. Conner referred to the proposal as ERC-8391 in the post. However, the subsequent Ethereum Magicians discussion and associated draft identify it as ERC-8392, titled “Asset Status Interface for Tokenized Assets.” The proposal addresses a mismatch between…

Trail of Bits disclosed a Provenance Blockchain authorization flaw that it said exposed 82 live mainnet asset accounts to takeover. A successful abuse could let someone mint an affected token or withdraw assets held in escrow. Those special asset accounts, called markers, govern a token’s supply, permissions, and escrow balance. The security firm said the flaw allowed a user who held none of a marker’s tokens to take its admin, mint, and withdrawal permissions, then act on them in a second transaction. The bug came from a mismatch between two records of token supply. For non-fixed markers, Provenance’s bank module…
