The UK abolished the encryption-lending tax: capital gains tax delayed until it was sold

The British Revenue and Customs Administration (HMRC) announced that the capital gains tax would be levied only on the sale of encrypted assets by the holder and not on transfer to a smart contract. The agency will levy income tax on currency received by users through casting, mining, dropping, pledge and interest. This is a demonstration of British efforts to balance deregulation and penalties for non-compliance. HMRC formally introduced the NGNL rule to reform the tax policy of the Decentralised Financial (DeFi) Agreement. The legislation introduced a comprehensive reform of the much-criticized “dry tax” model of 2022, which triggers tax liability every time a token is transferred. The new model, which will take effect on 6 April 2027, is expected to benefit some 700,000 DeFi users。

Despite the fact that the difficulty of mining has fallen by more than 10 per cent, the production of bitcoin in June is still at a level of comparison between CleanSpark, BitFufu and Canaan. Slide

On 15 July, the June operating data disclosed by the listed Bitcoin mining companies CleanSpark, BitFuFu and Canaan showed that the production of bitcoin by all three companies was lower than in May. Of these, CleanSpark produced 614 BTCs in June, down from 671 in May; BitFuFuu produced 125, down from 177 in the previous month; and Canaan produced 64, down from 90 in the previous month. Reports indicate that the reasons for the fall in production of the three companies are not the same. CleanSpark ' s average operating power decreased from 46 ETH/s to approximately 43 ETH/s; BitFuFu ' s total capacity decreased from 19.5 ETH/s to 15 ETH/s, mainly affected by a decline in hosting power, although its own capacity increased to 3.5 ETH/s; and Canaan attributed the decline in production to part of the maintenance of the mine grid. It is worth noting that the fall occurred after the difficulty of mining bitcoin was reduced by more than 10 per cent in mid-June, to a new low in 2026。
