In the U.S., the IRS treats crypto as property for tax purposes, meaning profits from sales, exchanges, or purchases are subject to capital gains tax. British courts have taken a similar stance, recognizing digital tokens as personal property that can be traced, recovered, or frozen in cases of theft and fraud. Singapore’s court has…

EU to Give ESMA Regulatory Control of Crypto Exchanges

The European Commission is planning to hand greater supervisory authority to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in a bid to streamline financial regulation and strengthen the EU’s capital markets union. The move would grant ESMA direct oversight of major cross-border trading platforms, including clearing houses, crypto exchanges, and stock markets. Currently, these entities fall under the supervision of national regulators through frameworks such as the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) legislation. Supporters of the plan argue that a single European regulator could eliminate inefficiencies created by the current patchwork of national regimes. European Central Bank (ECB) current and former…
