The House Ways and Means Committee advanced a crypto tax bill in a 38-5 vote. The bill would introduce new tax rules for digital assets, including mining, staking and crypto transactions. It would also extend wash-sale restrictions that currently apply to stocks to digital assets.

Unlike the CLARITY Act, where ethics concerns prevented the bill from advancing, the US has made some progress when it comes to crypto tax legislation. The House Ways and Means Committee has voted 38-5 to advance…

The CLARITY Act failed to advance in a 49-50 Senate vote, but regulators say crypto policy can still progress. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig signalled that their agencies will continue developing crypto rules.

Bernstein analysts expect further agency rulemaking covering crypto fundraising, DeFi, self-custody, tokenised equities and perpetual futures. As reported, the CLARITY Act was voted down in a 49-50 vote on Tuesday. But this doesn’t mean crypto in the US has no path forward: both the Securities and Exchange…

If a defect affects a client used by too much of the network, Ethereum can stop finalizing blocks or, under more extreme conditions, finalize the wrong chain.Yet a Sept. 16 snapshot of one client-diversity dashboard offered three incompatible answers about which client had the largest share. Clientdiversity.org showed Blockprint estimating Teku at 99.83%, Miga Labs estimating Lighthouse at 51.32%, and Rated estimating Teku at 53.86%.Those are readings coming from different proxies, and one is attached to a tool its developer…

Today’s scheduled milestone is the move to a public production network, where its design can face a broader commercial test.One balance for payments…
The European Central Bank has opened applications for online merchants to join a controlled pilot of the digital euro, its proposed retail central bank digital currency. The move brings the 2027 test closer to online checkout, but it does not put an issued digital euro into public circulation.The Sept. 15 merchant call gives EU-established e-commerce and mobile-commerce businesses until 17:00 CET on Oct. 27 to apply.
