Log in to Coinbase next tax season, and your tax documents might no longer arrive by mail.Under a new IRS proposal, crypto exchanges could be required to file Form 1099-DA electronically. This form reports digital asset trades, and could refuse to do business with customers who decline to provide it.The comment period closes May 5, and if finalized, the rule would shift crypto tax reporting from the mailbox to the platform.This is not a tax cut or a rollback of reporting requirements. Brokers still send identical information to the IRS regardless of how they deliver forms to customers. The proposal…
The following is a guest post and guest post from Thomas Pratter, Founder and CEO at Renesis.Liquid crypto funds are having a moment. The number of actively managed vehicles keeps growing, DeFi strategies are gaining legitimacy, and regulatory clarity is slowly catching up. Institutional allocators are paying closer attention than ever.But behind the optimism sits a less glamorous truth: most fund managers are still running their operations on duct tape.The Spreadsheet ProblemAsk any emerging fund manager how they track their portfolio across five exchanges, three chains, and a handful of DeFi protocols. The honest answer is usually some combination of…
$875B in property debt is due soon — and regional banks may be the weak link Bitcoin is watching
A large volume of US commercial real estate (CRE) debt is rolling into a very different market from the one that produced it.The Mortgage Bankers Association says $875 billion of commercial and multifamily mortgages are scheduled to mature in 2026, equal to 17% of the roughly $5 trillion of outstanding balances it tracks.While that’s below the $957 billion that was due in 2025, it’s still a massive refinancing event landing in a world where borrowing costs are far higher than they were when many of these loans were made.

Headlines about Bitcoin ETF outflows often mix two things: Bitcoin’s price move and actual share redemptions.If BTC drops, ETF AUM drops in dollars even if nobody sells a single share. That mark-to-market drop gets read as money leaving, and it can look like an institutional exit when the wrapper’s Bitcoin holdings and shares outstanding barely move.To understand whether investors are actually leaving, you have to separate the USD thermometer from the BTC and share-count thermometer.

When crude starts leading the headlines, crypto people tend to ask the wrong questions, like what it is that oil actually does to Bitcoin.While it’s the simplest and easiest way to explain what you don’t know, it’s a pretty bad question. A better one is what oil actually does to the cost of money, because Bitcoin is now trading like a live chart of liquidity expectations.Oil is one of the fastest ways to force that repricing, especially when the move comes from geopolitics and shipping risks rather than a slow increase in demand for BTC.That’s basically the backdrop right now.…

Bitcoin’s rebound on March 4 looked odd if you only watched it through the usual “risk assets are breaking” lens. Oil was jumping, shipping insurers were repricing war risk, and traders were treating the Strait of Hormuz like a live wire. All of the headlines had the cadence of a full-blown crisis.However, Bitcoin climbed back into the same $70,000 zone it has been orbiting for weeks, despite seeing a notable drop the weekend before.Two factors explain that move.The first is a pretty straightforward macro influence. Whenever the Middle East starts seeing oil shocks, markets quickly price in higher energy costs,…
AI is raising demand for builders, not erasing themIn February, a Citadel Securities analysis using Indeed data showed software-engineer job postings rising while overall job postings stayed weaker.That split does not mean AI is creating jobs across the whole economy. However, one of the clearest fears around large language models may be somewhat overblown. The current narrative is that companies will need fewer skilled builders as the tools improve, but this has not shown up in this part of the labor market.The sharpest conclusion is narrower and stronger. AI is increasing the value of people who design systems, test outputs,…
Washington lawmakers are moving on multiple fronts to curb the most politically toxic corners of prediction markets after millions of dollars flowed into bets tied to US-linked military action in Iran.Over the past week, several Democratic lawmakers have been pursuing multiple paths to rein in the fast-rising business.One effort, led by Rep. Mike Levin and Sen. Chris Murphy, focuses on war-related contracts that critics say should never have been listed.Another, spearheaded by US Senators Jeff Merkley and Amy Klobuchar, would seek to bar elected officials and senior executive branch officials from trading event contracts altogether.The central tensions in these efforts…
