$BTC | Fed stablecoin rules are a US headline, but they had me rechecking how the ATO treats the same coin here. On the desk stablecoins were the risk-off leg, nobody watched cost base. Wrong instinct in Australia. Swap USDC into a Uniswap pool and the ATO calls it a disposal, even at near-zero gain. Deposit the same USDC into Aave instead and it is generally not a CGT event since you keep beneficial ownership; only the interest is ordinary income. SatoshiMacro DeFi guide shows a AUD 15,000 Aave deposit where 250 USDC of interest is AUD 380 of assessable income. My read: log every stablecoin swap as a disposal, the ATO data-matching does not care about size. Not tax advice.
