UK’s tax agency publishes crypto tax guidelines

Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, a British tax agency, published crypto-related guidelines. The document named “Cryptoassets for Individuals” explains, among others, how crypto investors should make tax payments. “This paper sets out HMRC’s view - based on the law as it stands at the date of publication – about how individuals who have cryptoassets are taxed”, as we could read in the HMRC’s report. However, the agency says that the paper “does not explicitly consider the tax treatment of cryptoassets held for the purposes of a business carried on by an individual”. Nevertheless, the tax agency mentions that it will publish further information for such subjects.

Ripple, like its bigger peer Bitcoin, has experienced a slight drop. Source: xStation5

Opera launches a new version of its mobile browser having a built-in Ethereum wallet

Opera announced the release of its updated Android app which has a built-in Ethereum wallet, and now this mobile web browser supporting Web 3 is ready to download in the Google Play Store. Why did Opera decide to support Ethereum in its app? The answer could be found in a Opera’s release. “We’ve decided to support Ethereum, as it has the largest community of developers building Dapps and has gathered a lot of momentum behind it”, as the company’s statement reports. Let us remind that Opera announced this feature earlier this year, but now it confirmed it. The Opera’s concept may be another step which will popularize cryptocurrencies.
