The UK will require crypto platforms to report all activity from domestic users starting in 2026, as global tax authorities worldwide tighten oversight of digital assets. The United Kingdom will require domestic crypto platforms to report all transactions from UK-resident users starting in 2026, expanding the scope of the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF). The change will give His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) — the UK’s tax authority — automatic access to both domestic and cross-border crypto data for the first time, tightening tax compliance ahead of CARF’s first global information exchange in 2027. CARF, designed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is a framework for the automatic cross-border exchange of crypto transaction data between tax authorities worldwide. Its rules require crypto asset service providers to perform due diligence, verify user identities, and report detailed transaction information on an annual basis. Read more -

Greenidge Generation Holdings, a Bitcoin (BTC) mining company, disclosed that a fire broke out at its mining facility in Dresden, New York, where it co-hosts operations with mining company NYDIG. The fire broke out on Sunday due to an “electrical switchgear failure,” forcing the company to de-energize the entire facility, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing. The fire did not damage the mining rigs, and the company said it would resume normal operations within a “few weeks,” without providing specific dates. Read more -

Bitcoin recovered after four consecutive weeks in the red, surpassing the key $89,600 flow-weighted cost basis of Bitcoin ETF holders, the most significant cohort driving BTC inflows. This week, cryptocurrency markets staged a long-awaited recovery, following four consecutive weeks of downside momentum. Bitcoin’s (BTC) price reclaimed the $90,000 psychological mark on Wednesday, bringing some much-needed relief for Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) holders, who were once again back in profit as BTC traded above the key $89,600 flow-weighted cost basis of ETF buyers. Bolstering investor sentiment, Cathie Wood, the CEO and chief investment officer of ARK Invest, said the company’s $1.5 million Bitcoin bull market price prediction remained unchanged, pointing to billions in returning liquidity following the end of the US government shutdown.

As Tharimmune raises $540 million to build a Canton Coin treasury, the story behind the Canton Network shows that ICOs are not the only way to launch new blockchains. The blockchain ecosystem is home to several highly successful smart contract protocols, which makes the arrival of newcomers highly competitive. Canton Network is one of the newest ‘next generation layer one’ to vie for users and capital from incumbents like Ethereum and Solana. Alongside SUI and Aptos, Canton’s rise challenges the assumption that we have too many blockchains. Rooz said that the developers had taken a lot of learnings from the launches of other layer-1 protocols as well as the teething problems of established players like Ethereum. Read more -

Quantum security is moving from theory to practice as layer-1 blockchains prepare long-term plans to adopt post-quantum cryptography. Quantum computers still look like lab toys: Racks of hardware, error-prone qubits and almost no real-world applications. Yet if you check the roadmaps of major layer-1 blockchains, a new priority now sits next to scaling and modularity: post-quantum security. The concern is simple even if the math isn’t. Most major blockchains rely on elliptic-curve signatures (ECDSA and Ed25519) to prove that a transaction came from the owner of a private key. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could, in theory, recover those private keys from their public counterparts and let an attacker sign fake transactions. Read more -

Crypto plunged over $1 trillion in weeks, but analysts say the downturn isn’t systemic and break down the macro drivers, institutional behavior and investor survival strategies. The crypto market’s most turbulent period of 2025 resulted in a drawdown that erased more than $1.2 trillion in value and sent Bitcoin (BTC) plunging from its brief $120,000 peak to the $80,000 range. For many investors, the speed and severity of the selloff stirred déjà vu from 2017 and 2022. This week’s episode of Byte-Sized Insight hears from experts that this downturn is different — and far less catastrophic — than the headlines suggest. Macro analyst and author of the Crypto is Macro Now Substack Noelle Acheson argued that the latest dip is “not a big deal” and, crucially, “not systemic.” Instead, she called it a liquidity-driven correction sparked by shifting expectations around Federal Reserve rate cuts.

A proposal submitted to CTDG Dev Hub suggests introducing native transaction batching to Tron. Transaction fees are a major concern when sending cryptocurrency. Each transaction incurs a fee that is received by the miner, and that translates to paying hefty amounts for large organizations that regularly deal with large transactions. Transaction batching is a method invented for such scenarios. The method treats multiple transactions as one to improve scalability and reduce costs. The feature may soon arrive on Tron, thanks to a newly submitted proposal. The proposal was submitted by blockchain infrastructure provider Boosty Labs to the CTDG Dev Hub. The proposal is the first fruit of this effort. If passed, it can give Tron, an ecosystem home to many exchanges, payment processors and one of the highest-volume USDT markets, a native batching solution. Let’s take a deep dive into how transaction batching works, what sets the proposal’s approach apart from previous methods and how its arrival can transform the T... -

Nexus wants to be more than just another bridge by turning crosschain chaos into one unified balance so users can move assets seamlessly between blockchains. The Avail Nexus mainnet launched this week, promising to radically rewire how assets move between blockchains. Instead of another bridging tool, Nexus wants to make multichain execution as seamless as tapping a button, sidestepping years of awkward crypto UX and operational headaches. Nexus sets out to solve a nagging question in Web3: Why do users with onchain assets still get stuck, forced to bridge tokens, swap for gas and bounce between apps just to use their funds?
