Netherlands seeks input on crypto tax monitoring laws to align with EU

October 25, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

The Dutch government wants to align its data collection rules for crypto service providers with the rest of the EU, saying it would “create more transparency.”

The Dutch government has asked for public input on proposed laws that would require crypto service providers, such as exchanges, to collect and share user data with the local tax authority — aligning with European Union rules.

“The aim of the bill is to create more transparency about the ownership of cryptocurrencies, which can prevent tax avoidance and evasion,” the Netherlands Ministry of Finance said in an Oct. 24 press release.

It added “nothing will change” for crypto owners under the proposed rules as they’re already required to file a tax return of their holdings to the country’s tax authority, the Belastingdienst.

US lagging behind in global stablecoin adoption — Chainalysis

October 17, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

Growing demand for US dollar-backed stablecoins and regulatory uncertainty in the US are the key reasons for stablecoins thriving in other jurisdictions.

The United States has seen record Bitcoin activity since the launch of spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, stablecoin adoption in the US has slowed in 2024 compared to global markets, according to an Oct. 17 report from Chainalysis.

US markets have recorded a significant shift in stablecoin activity this year, with the share of stablecoin transactions on US-regulated exchanges dropping from roughly 50% in 2023 to below 40% in 2024.

In contrast, the share of stablecoin transactions on non-US regulated platforms has surged since 2023, breaking 60% in 2024, according to Chainalysis’ latest report on crypto adoption trends in North America.

ECB official proposes unified European ledger for digital assets

October 7, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Blockchain

European Central Bank executive board member Piero Cipollone would like to see a sort of European union for digital assets.

A European Central Bank (ECB) official has introduced the idea of a “European ledger” — a continental unified ledger. Such a blockchain could bring European digital assets and money together in one place, leading to greater efficiency and synergy.

ECB executive board member Piero Cipollone said Europe’s traditional capital markets are fragmented and have unharmonized legislation to overcome, but there is a chance to create a unified platform for digital assets. He called that platform a digital capital markets union.

According to Cipollone, more than 60% of banks in the European Union are exploring or experimenting with distributed ledger technology (DLT), and another 22% already use it. But while DLT provides an opportunity to create financial integration, it does not guarantee it, Cipollone said at a symposium hosted by the German central bank. On the contrary:
