Stronger regulation helps improve financial transparency
Crypto assets’ cross-border circulation, fast transaction speeds, and dispersed account information pose challenges to traditional tax oversight. Latvia’s reform not only adjusts the method of taxation, but also reflects the government’s policy direction of further regulating crypto asset holdings and transactions.
The new rules allow eligible crypto asset investments to qualify for the investment account regime, while establishing a dedicated reporting channel for related assets. Latvia has previously advanced an automatic exchange mech

#LatviaPassesCryptoTaxLaw Latvia's new crypto tax law: two mechanisms, one common mistake to avoid
Latvia's parliament passed its crypto tax amendments on October 15, and the headlines make it sound like one simple 10% tax. It is not. The law contains two separate mechanisms that work very differently, plus a third idea that has not become law yet. Here is the clean version.
Mechanism one: the investment account
The amendments permit an investment-account model for crypto-assets, in which tax applies only when withdrawals from the account exceed the amount originally invested, and individual t

Three Chinese-American tech elites are redefining America’s AI and financial infrastructure:
Scott Wu (Cognition AI CEO): Born in Louisiana to Shanghai immigrant parents who were chemical engineers. A Harvard dropout and three-time IOI gold medalist, he built the world’s first autonomous AI software engineer, Devin, and his company’s valuation is surging toward tens of billions of dollars.
Alexandr Wang (Meta Chief AI Officer): Born in Los Alamos to Chinese-American physicist parents. An MIT dropout, he became the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at 24. He founded Scale AI and now leads

$UNI This move from 6.8 back to 7.37, with 24h trading volume of $156 million—no one in the group is calling it out, but the order book is getting thicker. A 2.5% gain isn’t much; what matters is that the 6.806 low held, while 7.42 is acting as resistance—a typical test of the previous high after a shakeout. Capital is betting on the UNI fee-switch narrative, with buying concentrated at 7.2-7.3 and sparse selling pressure; sentiment has shifted from panic to watchful waiting.
Trade: Test a small long at 7.3-7.4, with a stop-loss at 6.78 (admit you’re wrong if it breaks the previous low) and fi
