PANews reported on December 8th that, according to court documents obtained by The Block, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has collected over C$100 million (approximately US$72 million) in taxes through cryptocurrency-related audits over the past three years, but no criminal charges have been filed since 2020, revealing structural limitations in the country's enforcement capabilities. The CRA's audit team has processed over 230 files and estimates that 40% of taxpayers using cryptocurrency platforms have either failed to file tax returns or are at high risk of non-compliance. However, the CRA believes it is "unable to reliably identify taxpayers in the cryptocurrency sector and assess their income tax compliance." Furthermore, the report states that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has obtained data from 2,500 users of Dapper Labs through a court order. The CRA initially sought information on Dapper's first 18,000 users, but after negotiations with company executives and lawyers, the number was ultimately reduced to 2,500. The CRA's application filed with the Federal Court in September marks the second time a court has ordered a Canadian cryptocurrency company to disclose such information, following a similar order issued to the Toronto-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinsquare in 2020.PANews reported on December 8th that, according to court documents obtained by The Block, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has collected over C$100 million (approximately US$72 million) in taxes through cryptocurrency-related audits over the past three years, but no criminal charges have been filed since 2020, revealing structural limitations in the country's enforcement capabilities.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
