Hotspot Comments
Please provide the text to be translated. IRS Taxation Rules on DeFi Spark Controversy, Cryptocurrency Industry Faces New Regulatory Challenges The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States has announced new tax regulations for decentralized finance platforms, requiring certain 'DeFi brokers' to report user transaction information in the manner of traditional securities brokers, including providing users' names and addresses, and submitting 1099 tax forms. This rule applies to 'front-end service providers' that interact directly with users, rather than the decentralized protocols themselves. The IRS believes that this rule will help narrow the tax gap and simplify tax compliance processes. However, the crypto industry strongly opposes this, arguing that the decentralized nature of DeFi makes it difficult to implement information collection and reporting mechanisms, while potentially infringing on user privacy. Despite industry experts and lobbying groups planning to take legal action and legislative approaches to stop this rule, the rule is planned to take effect in 2027. Please provide the text to be translated. The new regulations from the IRS reflect the government's trend of strengthening tax supervision of the encryption industry, but they may face significant obstacles in implementation. The decentralization and intermediary-free nature of DeFi make the definition and division of 'brokers' complex, and mandatory information collection may conflict with privacy protection principles. This rule may not only hinder innovation, but also force some projects into a gray area. In addition, the industry's strong resistance and potential legal and legislative challenges suggest that the road to implementing this rule may not be smooth.

Ethena teams up with Berachain to launch pre-deposit Vaults, opening up a new mode of ecological rewards Ethena Labs has launched the Berachain pre-deposit Vaults, supporting deposits of USDe, sUSDe, USDC, and USDT, with Concrete assisting in the launch of two Vaults. This plan allows users to retain their USD exposure while earning Berachain rewards and participating in its ecosystem development. After the launch of the Berachain mainnet, these Vaults will deploy liquidity to whitelist protocols within the Berachain ecosystem. In addition, USDe and sUSDe deposits will be eligible for multiple rewards, including Ethena rewards, Concrete points, BERA tokens, and other native ecosystem rewards. This mechanism provides users with the convenience of maintaining asset stability while participating in ecosystem growth. Please provide the text to be translated. The collaboration between Ethena and Berachain brings innovative liquidity management and incentive models to users. By supporting stablecoin deposits and providing multiple rewards, Vaults attracts users who value stable asset allocation while driving early expansion of the Berachain ecosystem.

Sophon mainnet starts the second phase of mining, optimizing the reward mechanism to promote ecosystem development Sophon, a modular blockchain based on ZKSync, announced the completion of the mining migration from Ethereum L1 to the Sophon mainnet, and the second phase of mining is now open. In the first phase of mining, SP points were allocated at a fixed rate, resulting in uneven profits. The second phase has improved the reward distribution mechanism, with SP rewards based on the dollar value of user deposits, ensuring fairness between different pools. In addition, liquidity providers can obtain 2x or 3x SP rewards through the LP token pool of SyncSwap. Moreover, there will be zero transaction fees for initial mining on the mainnet, further lowering the barrier for user participation. Users who did not participate in the first phase can also directly join the mining activities in the second phase. Please provide the text to be translated. In the second stage of the Sophon mainnet mining, a fairer reward distribution and zero transaction fee strategy provide users with a better participation experience, enhance their enthusiasm for participation, and promote early ecosystem expansion. Diverse incentive measures such as the LP pool reward multiplier mechanism help enhance liquidity and attract more participants, laying the foundation for future development.
