PANews reported on December 6th, citing Yahoo Finance, that Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the recent DeFi tax guidance released by HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) may mark a turning point for crypto lending in the UK . The document states that depositing digital assets or stablecoins such as USDC or USDT into DeFi platforms will not be considered a taxable disposal at the time of deposit. In other words, users depositing their cryptocurrency assets into DeFi platforms for lending, staking, or borrowing will not trigger capital gains tax. Capital gains tax is only payable when users actually dispose of their assets (e.g., sell, convert, or otherwise cash out), rather than simply transferring tokens in or out of DeFi protocols. Under the new approach, these regular DeFi transactions fall into the "no gain, no loss" category, providing investors with clearer and more practical tax guidance. Kulechov added that the simplified tax approach reduces the burden, enabling wider adoption by institutions while also simplifying operations for ordinary retail users.PANews reported on December 6th, citing Yahoo Finance, that Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the recent DeFi tax guidance released by HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) may mark a turning point for crypto lending in the UK .

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.
