On 26 July, Lido indicated that today ' s stETH Rebase amendment had been completed as expected, that the ETH gains that had been omitted yesterday as a result of undercalculations had been recovered, and that an update and audit of the protocol ' s predictor had been completed, and that the new version would speed up the processing of reports and help to locate the causes more quickly when similar problems arose in the future. In response to an anomaly in the calculation of earnings that occurred yesterday, Lido indicated that the root causes were still being analysed, that further details of the investigation would be published in follow-up, that the user funds would remain at no risk throughout the incident, and that a full incident clean-up report would be issued in the coming days to further explain the causes of the problem, the rehabilitation measures and the subsequent improvement programme.

The Street: ETF is not entirely tax-free and investors need to pay attention to different product tax rules

On 26 July, The Street reported that although ETF was generally more tax-efficient than the Common Fund because of the in-kind buy-back mechanism (In-KindCreation/Redeposition) and the lower turnover rate, “tax efficiency” did not mean “tax exemption”. There are significant differences in the tax treatment of different types of ETF, and investors need to plan in relation to the type of hold and the nature of the account. It has been reported that ETFs that invest in in-kind gold, silver and silver may be taxed in the United States at the collection rate; that ETFs that use futures contracts usually apply the “60/40” tax rule, i.e. 60 per cent of capital gains are taxed at long-term rates and 40 per cent at short-term rates, independently of the time actually held; and that ETFs in part of foreign exchange may be taxed at ordinary income, while leverage and reverse ETFs may also be subject to the “60/40” rule because of their high turnover. The Street suggested that investors could reduce overall tax costs by rationalizing the allocation of taxable and extended accounts, holding ETFs for a long time, using tax-loss Harvesing and adding value to ETF shares。

Encrypted regulation in Europe or a wave of mergers and acquisitions: SMEs seeking integration with banks and traditional financial institutions

On 26 July, the European encryption industry is entering a new phase of integration as the European Union Encrypted Assets Market Regulation Act (MiCA) moves on the ground and the British encryption regulatory framework is about to take shape. Industry believes that high-standard regulatory requirements may facilitate a new wave of mergers and acquisitions and that cooperation between encrypted start-ups and traditional financial institutions will be further deepened. The MICA licensing phase is coming to an end, but the real challenges facing businesses are just beginning. The high cost of continuing to operate a compliance system could change the European encryption industry. The focus of future industry competition may shift from “who gets a license” to “who has the capacity to bear the regulatory costs” and to promote the scaling up of enterprises through mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures or cooperation with banks. It is widely recognized that the European encryption industry is entering a “regulatoryly driven integration cycle”. For encrypted start-ups that in the past relied on rapid innovation and light asset models, future core competitiveness may no longer be just technology speed, but rather compliance, capital size and financial infrastructure integration。
