PANews reported on November 23 that, according to Coindesk, shares of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), a Tokyo-listed company, continue to outperform Bitcoin due to Japan's different tax treatment for stocks and cryptocurrencies. In Japan, cryptocurrency gains are considered miscellaneous income, combined with wages and other income, and taxed at progressive rates, with a maximum rate of 55%. These gains cannot be offset by losses from other sources, nor can they be carried forward to future years. Equity gains are entirely different. Equity gains are taxed separately at a rate of approximately 20%, losses can be carried forward, and the reporting requirements are simpler. This difference creates a clear financial incentive: directly holding Bitcoin can result in a high tax burden, while holding Bitcoin-linked stocks allows gains to remain in the lower-tax equity category. However, with Japanese tax authorities considering revising tax policies for cryptocurrencies, DAT's appeal could soon diminish. If this happens, DAT, listed in Tokyo, will quickly lose its tax advantage and become less attractive.PANews reported on November 23 that, according to Coindesk, shares of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), a Tokyo-listed company, continue to outperform Bitcoin due to Japan's different tax treatment for stocks and cryptocurrencies.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
