Big moves in crypto regulation, payments, and mining today — let's break it down.
First up, the UK is making life easier for crypto lenders: they've introduced a 'no gain, no loss' tax policy when disposing of crypto in lending and liquidity pools. This is expected to affect around 700,000 people, reducing capital gains headaches. Nice to see governments catching up.
Meanwhile in Japan, JCB (JCB:TYO) signed an MOU with Circle to test USDC for cross-border settlements and merchant payments. With regulated stablecoins gaining traction, this could be a big step for mainstream adoption in Asia.
And over in Georgia,
$BTC miner CleanSpark (CLSK) jumped 22% on news of a $6.6 billion data center lease with an undisclosed tech giant. This move shows the growing overlap between Bitcoin mining and AI/high-performance computing. Infrastructure plays are heating up.
