HMRC has published its consultation outcome in the UK regarding the taxation of DeFi activities related to lending and staking.
A particularly interesting conclusion is that when users deposit assets into Aave, the deposit itself is not treated as a disposal for capital gains tax purposes, creating a ‘no gain, no loss’ (NGNL) approach.
This is a major win for UK DeFi users who want to borrow stablecoins against their crypto collateral.
I’m proud that our team at Aave Labs participated in the consultation, advocating for DeFi and ensuring that the tax treatment of interactions with lending protocols reflects the economic reality: users are not intending to dispose of their assets when borrowing against their collateral for liquidity needs.
We’re fully supportive of this approach and hope to see these changes reflected in UK tax legislation soon.

If you’ve been following, you know this intern loves going rogue... 😉
I’d like to congratulate @RyderCupEurope on their victory. Your team play the first few days was sensational.
More importantly, I’d like to apologize for the rude and mean-spirited behavior from our American crowd at Bethpage.
As a former player, Captain and as an American, I am ashamed of what happened. #RyderCup
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN
Prediction:
U.S. dollar stablecoins with yield will drain bank accounts in every country with an inferior currency - which is pretty much all countries.
These countries will react with crypto capital controls - they'll pass laws or regulate.
We're already seeing it.
In the UK the Bank of England is trying to prevent citizens from holding more than £10,000 per person in stablecoins - you'll start seeing crypto capital controls like these (and worse) in many countries over the next 6-12 months as authorities react.
These capital controls will then push more people into DeFi and crypto.
Freedom has no borders on the internet.
@DefiDfyn As one of those 22 strangers it's been a lot of fun and RV has kept me in the game not just with great content but it's mostly being part of a community that keeps me connected
Been wrapped up with health issues in recent weeks but still been cooking behind the scenes.

as some collectors are rediscovering SZNS, i want to point out a few things about this collection, created with @HirojiKotegawa in 2023, that might be helpful to know...
SUI Deep Dive – Treasury Raise Catalyst
SUI is lining up a $500M Treasury raise, and if it happens, it’s not just about adding cash to the balance sheet — it’s about status, survivability, and narrative positioning for the next crypto cycle. Treasury size equals power: it secures years of runway, attracts institutional liquidity and market makers, and fuels ecosystem expansion through grants, infrastructure, and DeFi development. Think back to Solana’s ecosystem fund in 2021 — it wasn’t just money, it was the spark that triggered the narrative flywheel. Now imagine that same setup with @RaoulGMI calling it out before the money even lands.
From here, the path splits into four distinct scenarios:
1️⃣ Base Case (Partial Raise $200–300M): Enough to keep SUI relevant and competitive. Dominance around ~1.25%, market cap ≈ $156B, price target ≈ $16 (~4× from here). This aligns with the cautious analyst lane ($15–18).
2️⃣ Bull Case (Full $500M Raise): The leadership scenario. A raise of this size signals institutions are backing SUI, which could push dominance toward ~2.20%, market cap ≈ $275B, and price ≈ $28 (~7× from here). This is the kind of setup that allowed ETH to dominate 2017 and SOL to shine in 2021.
3️⃣ Analyst Consensus: Current research models cluster around $18–22, based on steady adoption and network growth curves. Analysts rarely price in bold catalysts like $500M raises, which is why the upside gap matters.
4️⃣ Bearish / Delay Case: If fundraising stalls or liquidity windows tighten, SUI risks slipping under 1% dominance. Market cap $90–120B, price ≈ $9–12. Still a 2–3× from here, but well below leadership status.
🔑 Takeaway:
Without the raise, SUI likely sits in the $16–22 comfort zone, in line with consensus forecasts. With the raise, the $28+ leadership setup opens up — a genuine contender for cycle narrative dominance. The SEC filing points to serious capital already circling.
This raise isn’t just about money. It’s the potential catalyst that decides whether SUI stays “one of many alts” or steps into the role of cycle leader.

Coinbase is becoming the everything exchange.
All assets will inevitably move onchain, so we want to have everything you want to trade in one place.
Incoming: DEX integration (access millions of assets) + expansion of our derivatives offerings.
Next: tokenized equities + more.
If everything is fine, then don’t change anything at all.
But when the financial system isn’t working for so many people in the UK, it needs to be updated.
