PANews reported on November 23 that, according to Coindesk, shares of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), a Tokyo-listed company, continue to outperform Bitcoin due to Japan's different tax treatment for stocks and cryptocurrencies. In Japan, cryptocurrency gains are considered miscellaneous income, combined with wages and other income, and taxed at progressive rates, with a maximum rate of 55%. These gains cannot be offset by losses from other sources, nor can they be carried forward to future years. Equity gains are entirely different. Equity gains are taxed separately at a rate of approximately 20%, losses can be carried forward, and the reporting requirements are simpler. This difference creates a clear financial incentive: directly holding Bitcoin can result in a high tax burden, while holding Bitcoin-linked stocks allows gains to remain in the lower-tax equity category. However, with Japanese tax authorities considering revising tax policies for cryptocurrencies, DAT's appeal could soon diminish. If this happens, DAT, listed in Tokyo, will quickly lose its tax advantage and become less attractive.PANews reported on November 23 that, according to Coindesk, shares of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), a Tokyo-listed company, continue to outperform Bitcoin due to Japan's different tax treatment for stocks and cryptocurrencies.

The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin presented the network’s new roadmap, which includes its short-, medium-, and long-term goals, at the Developer Conference held in Japan today. Scalability, cross-layer compatibility, privacy, and security were the prominent topics in Buterin’s speech. Buterin stated that the short-term focus will be on increasing gas limits on the Ethereum mainnet (L1). He said that tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas price restructuring, and slot optimization will be used in this context. The goal is to maintain the network’s decentralization while increasing scalability. The medium-term goal is to enable trustless asset transfers between Layer-2 (L2) networks and achieve faster transaction finality. In this context, “Stage 2 Rollup” solutions, proof-of-conduct combinations, and optimizations for reading data from L1 are on the agenda. Furthermore, network optimizations such as shortening slot times, fast finality protocols, and erasure coding are planned to improve user experience and security. Buterin emphasized that privacy is a priority for both the short and medium term. Zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, anonymous pools, encrypted voting, and scrambling network solutions are highlighted to protect the privacy of users’ on-chain payments, voting, DeFi transactions, and account changes. Furthermore, secure execution environments, secret query techniques, and the ability to conceal fraudulent requests and data access patterns are also targeted when reading data from the chain. Buterin’s long-term vision highlights a minimalist, secure, and simple Ethereum. This roadmap includes resistance to the risks posed by quantum computers, securing the protocol with mathematical methods (formal verification), and transitioning to ideal cryptographic solutions. Buterin stated that these strategic steps will transform Ethereum into a more scalable, user-friendly, and secure infrastructure. With the strengthening of L2 networks, more users will be able to use Ethereum with less trust assumptions. The ultimate goal is for Ethereum to become a reliable foundational infrastructure for global…

Coinbase taps DeFi to offer up to 10.8% yield on USDC holdings

                                                                               The crypto exchange integrates Morpho lending into its app, letting USDC users tap DeFi yields of up to 10.8%.                     Coinbase is rolling out a new way for users to earn yields on their USDC holdings, marking one of the exchange’s first large-scale integrations with decentralized finance (DeFi) at a time of accelerating stablecoin adoption.The company announced Thursday that it is integrating the Morpho lending protocol, with vaults curated by DeFi advisory company Steakhouse Financial, directly into the Coinbase app. The move will allow users to lend USDC (USDC) without navigating third-party DeFi platforms or wallets.Coinbase already pays up to 4.5% APY in rewards for holding USDC on its platform. With the new DeFi lending option, however, users can tap into onchain markets and potentially earn yields of up to 10.8% as of Wednesday, according to Coinbase.Read more
