Latvia's New Crypto Tax Framework: A Step Toward Greater Regulatory Clarity
Latvia's reported approval of a new cryptocurrency tax framework is drawing attention to an important issue in digital assets: how governments can establish clearer rules for investors without creating unnecessary uncertainty.
The headline is a special 10% tax scheme for eligible investors declaring existing crypto assets. If implemented as described, this could offer qualifying holders a more predictable route to address their tax obligations. However, investors should verify the scheme's el

BlackRock, which manages $15.5 trillion, held $65.34B in its bitcoin ETF on October 16, more than the $62.34B in its iShares Gold Trust. The bitcoin fund launched in January 2024, 19 years after the gold trust.

#AltcoinReboundLosesMomentum 📉 Altcoin Rebound Loses Momentum! 🚨
The altcoin market is struggling to maintain its recovery as bullish momentum starts to fade. 📊 After a brief bounce, traders are watching closely to see whether buyers can regain control or if another pullback is coming.
🔻 Selling Pressure: Recent gains may be at risk.
📉 Weak Momentum: Buyers need stronger conviction.
👀 Key Levels: Support zones and trading volume are worth watching.
⚠️ Stay Alert: Crypto volatility can change the market quickly.
Is this just a temporary pause before the next rally, or are altcoins heading

🌐 World ($WLD ) launches a range of new tools targeting deepfakes and AI
1️⃣ Deepfake protection directly on Zoom
World has brought its identity verification tool to Zoom Marketplace after approximately 6 months of testing. The system cross-checks faces in calls against selfie photos and data verified through Orb. If they match, users will receive a verification badge.
The feature is available for Zoom Enterprise on desktop and requires users to have been verified through Orb. This is a notable move as deepfakes increasingly make it difficult to determine whether someone on screen is real.

ME News: On October 19 (UTC+8), total deposits in crypto “vaults” had grown from $4 billion at the beginning of last year to more than $10 billion. Fintech companies, digital asset treasury management firms, and hedge funds are the main depositors in these “vaults.” These “vaults” operate through smart contracts on DeFi platforms. Each “vault” has a “manager” (equivalent to an investment manager) who selects lending strategies, sets risk limits, and collects fees. Their yields typically range from 3% to 10%, while higher-risk strategies may even deliver returns of 20% or more. At the same time

Why are people still defending the malicious dumping of RWA U.S. stocks?
What are RWA U.S. stocks pegged to? The price of the underlying stock, right?
When the U.S. stock market is closed, even if there’s no trading, shouldn’t there still be some limit to how much prices can fluctuate based on the buy and sell orders on the exchange?
If this can be explained away as normal market behavior, does that mean that either the exchange or any whale can pump and dump at will while the U.S. stock market is closed? After all, the peg will be restored by Monday premarket, so can we just pretend nothing b

Paper tigers are paper tigers after all—one poke and they burst!
$BTC Morning call: short around 830-840; the high was precisely tagged at 83157, landing perfectly in the ambush zone. The longs then showed their true colors, plunging all the way to the current low of 82058. A solid 1100-point move captured!
That big V-shaped bullish candle this morning—how many people got jealous watching it and wanted to chase longs?
What did Tongge say? “The 1-hour MACD looks aggressive, but price has reached the upper Bollinger Band; the 4-hour chart has run into strong resistance, while the higher-timefra

Gold’s overall movement today has largely matched my view from this morning. After the Asian session opened, gold tested support near 4155 and then continued to rebound. Before the European session opened, it reached a high of 4190, just $10 below the upper end of this morning’s projected range at 4200, before pulling back. The pre-session low was $4158; on closer inspection, the intraday low was $4156.
Gold currently remains range-bound between 4150 and 4200. Tonight, watch for support near the 4150 floor. For trading, focus on the hourly chart pattern. If an upward reversal pattern forms aro

Since I only have <2 weeks until the showdown I unfortunately have to stop being in brew mode and start getting in real reps on a single deck.
I'll likely be going pack Ziggs since it's the most established build at the moment. Not happy about it, but it's what seems to be the more consistent variation at this time.
I'm not giving up on brewing something different after the showdown though! Trust me.

It seems the authorities overseeing finance domestically still have a pretty keen sense of smell. At this year's Financial Street Forum Annual Conference, the CSRC's remarks seem quite pointed—aren't leveraged products linked to individual A-shares overseas precisely the RWA and Perp products that are currently the hottest narratives in crypto?
Although making money in A-shares is difficult, crackdowns have never been lenient. Remember Xu Xiang and the Ningbo Limit-Up Board Daredevils?
