@Cryptory_de Nothing screams "harmonized single market" like the central bank president personally vetoing who gets a license.

The SEC innovation exemption and the CFTC filings are the more durable signal here. Rules built through active rulemaking tend to stick around longer than a bill that could get renegotiated next session. Worth tracking the compliance mechanics, not just the vote count.

[Galaxy Research @glxyresearch]

The Clarity Act collapses in the Senate 49-50, the SEC unveils a 5-year tokenized stocks exemption, and Anthropic's Dario Amodei sparks an AI industry fight over slowing down frontier development.

Full breakdown below. https://t.co/44ag8uQK3L

Kevin O'Leary says Congress will revisit the Clarity Act early next year, even as a crypto tax bill moves forward.

Two tracks, one message: Washington is done ignoring crypto. Market structure plus taxation is the real signal.

The consolidated tape problem already exists in crypto today, before tokenized securities add to it. Nobody has a single source of truth across chains and venues right now. Tokenization just raises the stakes on a reconciliation problem that was never solved.

[Tyrone V. Ross Jr. @TR401]

The SEC’s announcement yesterday could accelerate the trading of tokenized securities across multiple platforms, blockchains, and liquidity pools, but who maintains the definitive record of what an investor actually owns?

There’s currently no consolidated tape, single custodian or guarantee that positions, cost basis, and transaction history will be reconciled across venues which exacerbates an existing problem in crypto. Dividends, splits, voting rights, and other corporate actions will need to be tracked and reconciled across multiple networks and trading venues.

While the crypto industry is focused on putting every asset onchain fiduciaries and regulated entities are concerned about how they’ll be accounted for once they’re there. I submitted a comment to the SEC yesterday outlining some of these gaps.

With the CLARITY Act on hold the regulatory updates from the @CFTC and the @SECGov are coming quickly, but the operational infrastructure is struggling to keep up.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

Circle shipping Arc as its own L1 says something simple: stablecoin issuers no longer want to be tenants on someone else's chain. More issuers will want direct control of settlement, which means more fragmented rails to reconcile flows across.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

A five year exemption for tokenized stock trading is a green light, not a finished rulebook. Firms that move first still need to prove clean recordkeeping under whatever framework the SEC eventually formalizes.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

Same instinct we operate on. Waiting for perfect legislative clarity means building nothing. A CFTC no-action letter or an SEC exemption order is something you can design a compliance process around today, a bill that might pass next year is not.

[Nick Martin @NickPlutus]

Coinbase fell 10% when the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate on Tuesday. It is up 11% today because the CFTC and SEC moved anyway, one with no action relief, one with a tokenized stock exemption.

I build against rules I can read, not bills that might pass.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

Plaid didn't build banks, it built the connective layer that let fintechs stop reinventing bank data plumbing. Crypto still lacks that layer. Every exchange, chain, and wallet speaks a different dialect, and most teams rebuild the translation from scratch.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

Voluntary disclosure programs only work if the transaction data is reconstructable. Most crypto investors can't produce clean cost basis across wallets and exchanges without infrastructure built for it. That's the real bottleneck, not the legislative language.

[Gordon Law Group | Crypto Tax Lawyer @gordonlawltd]

CLARITY failed in the Senate.

But while everyone was watching CLARITY, another crypto bill moved forward — and this one could directly impact what you owe the IRS.

Wash sale rules. Crypto losses. Charitable donations. Voluntary disclosure.

And one proposed rule could even affect trades happening NOW.

Andrew Gordon breaks down what crypto investors need to know.

We came to Barcelona as one of 12 finalists.

We’re leaving @EBlockchainCon with winning at the EBC12 Startup Battle, and a €20,000 grant. 🏆

Kryptos was built on one conviction: crypto finance cannot scale on fragmented data.

Today, that conviction earned its place on the podium.

@EBlockchainCon

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

Germany drafted a bill this week to end its one year crypto tax exemption, replacing it with a flat 25% tax from 2028. Still a draft. The point stands regardless: tax breaks tied to holding period vanish in one policy cycle, and most portfolios can't prove holding periods.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

Institutional crypto adoption keeps getting framed as a custody problem. It's a reporting problem. A bank can custody an asset it can't reconcile for a 10-Q. That's the actual gate, not cold storage.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

Senate holds a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act Sept 15. Whatever the outcome, the SEC/CFTC jurisdiction split it proposes doesn't fix the deeper problem: neither agency gets clean data from chains and exchanges today. Clarity on jurisdiction isn't clarity on data.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

Crypto's bottleneck was never transaction speed. It's data. Every chain, exchange, and wallet formats activity differently, so compliance and reporting start with reconciliation instead of analysis. Plaid solved that for bank data. Web3 hasn't solved it yet.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

The tax code didn't just get the policy wrong, it assumed portfolios could reconstruct cost basis and holding period on demand. Most can't. That's why DAC8, CARF, and 1099-DA all land the same way: a data problem dressed as a policy problem.

[Sky | Kryptos.io @kryptos_sky]

@ZeroTaxGlobal Permanent establishment law was written for humans who fly somewhere and shake hands. An AI agent closing deals from a server has no passport to stamp, which is exactly why regulators hate it.

[Andrew Gordon @accounting]

Crypto investors have been impacted by a backwards tax code for the last ten years.

It’s time for us to be part of the discussion, not just hurt by it.

The cap makes lot level tracking matter more, not less. A loss you can only use $3,000 at a time is one you are carrying forward for years, which means your records need to show exactly which lots are still open and why. Most crypto portfolios were never built to track that.

[Clinton Donnelly @CryptoTaxFixer]

@maryheart11254 Exactly. If gains are fully taxable, losses should get comparable treatment.

The $3,000 limit against ordinary income is especially hard to justify after decades of inflation. It turns a real economic loss into a deduction you may be carrying around for years.

[Darley Technologies @Darley_Tech]

@Cointelegraph Custody charters like this are where the regulatory frameworks start to diverge. In Europe, MiCA already sets a licensing path for CASPs handling custody and stablecoins. Different route to the same institutional trust question: who holds the assets, under what supervision.

[Crypto Tax Made Easy @CryptoTaxSucks]

Tokenized stocks are taxed very differently than crypto.

And your crypto tax software might not be able to handle the NVDA shares you're getting airdropped every 15-minutes.

So you'll want to read this article to avoid getting rekt. https://t.co/2EzR4HCpYp
