A German finance ministry draft would tax crypto gains at the standard 25% withholding rate, ending the exemption that currently frees gains on coins held longer than a year. The rules would apply to assets bought from January 1, 2027, with banks and platforms withholding the tax automatically from 2028; the draft is in early coordination and could still change. Crypto bought before 2027 would be grandfathered, keeping the 12-month rule that makes long-held gains tax-free. Germany’s finance ministry has drafted a bill that would end the country’s tax-free treatment of long-held cryptocurrency, taxing gains on coins bought from 2027…

Trezor warned on September 9 that attackers used a compromised third-party email provider to send users a phishing email posing as a critical security alert. The fake message falsely claimed a hardware flaw in the STM32 chips inside Trezor devices could weaken recovery phrases; Trezor took down the domain and said keys and funds were not exposed. BitBox reported the same scam the same day, saying its newsletter provider was “very likely” compromised and that several Bitcoin firms shared it; neither company named the provider. Hardware wallet maker Trezor warned users on September 9 that attackers had used a compromised…

The US Treasury has set a $6 billion ceiling for a Sept. 10 buyback of older long-dated bonds, giving dealers more room to offload inventory. For Bitcoin, the question is whether that relief can extend beyond bond trading into broader financing conditions.The tentative schedule published Sept. 9 targets nominal Treasury securities with 10 to 20 years remaining. The ceiling is triple the previous $2 billion limit and exceeds the minimum expansion Treasury announced Aug. 19, when it promised at least $4 billion in operations.The operation is scheduled for 1:40 p.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern, with settlement on Sept. 11. Eligible…

Iran is easing currency controls, allowing businesses to use crypto to move overseas earnings and facilitate trade. Washington has made crypto a key target of its broader sanctions campaign against Iran. The US has sanctioned Iranian exchanges and wallets, while Tether has frozen hundreds of millions of dollars linked to Iran. Iran’s significant Bitcoin mining industry provides another way for the country to earn crypto outside traditional trade channels. Iran is loosening its strict currency controls and leaning on cryptocurrencies – especially Tether and Bitcoin – to keep trade moving as the US blocks its ports and squeezes its economy…

Bitcoin’s on-chain sell-side risk has fallen to less than half its August peak, easing one measure of potential selling pressure even as a large block of older coins remains held at acquisition prices above the market.Analytics firm Glassnode’s Sept. 9 report, using on-chain observations through Sept. 7, puts its Sell-Side Risk Ratio at 7 basis points per day on a seven-day basis, down from 16 basis points at August’s peak.Long-term holders also accounted for 47% of realized profit, compared with 88% at the August peak. Older holders are contributing less of the market’s realized profit, although that percentage does not…

Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP token left nearly 80% of traders underwater within hours despite being pitched as an answer to memecoin grift. Hunter Biden is the son of former US President Joe Biden.Data from Bubblemaps showed that 12,151 of the token’s 15,206 traders lost money, while only 3,026 were profitable and 29 were at break-even or held positions that could not be priced.Most of the losses were relatively small, with 11,311 wallets down less than $1,000.

OpenAI says its latest AI system solved a 90-year-old math problem in 88 hours, reigniting fears over runaway intelligence.On Sept. 8, the company said that an internal model significantly more capable than its recently released GPT-6 Astra coordinated roughly 10,000 AI agents to solve the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem. This is one of mathematics’ seven Millennium Prize Problems.The agents exchanged 2.7 million messages and generated about 130 billion output tokens before Astra spent another 17 hours formalizing and verifying the result in Lean. OpenAI said the system proved that initially smooth fluid motion can develop a singularity in finite…

Solana’s shorter trading intervals could let liquidity providers keep more of the value that trading bots extract from outdated pool prices. Fee-charging pools whose prices lag external markets have the clearest modeled benefit.Solana’s mainnet has reached the reported 300-millisecond slot target, shortening the intervals allocated for block production. Validator software developer Anza also issued its Sept. 8 call for volunteers to adopt Agave v4.3.These separate upgrades change both trading opportunities and the costs of running the network.The economic question is how much trading value remains with the people supplying liquidity after faster execution, fees, and competition between bots. A larger…
