BTCCSquare news:
The UK has taken a decisive step toward integrating cryptocurrencies into its mainstream tax framework. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) now requires detailed transactional data from digital asset exchanges, signaling heightened regulatory scrutiny.
This move aligns with global efforts to increase transparency in crypto markets. While no specific coins or exchanges are named in the initial report, the policy will impact all platforms operating in the UK jurisdiction.
The Financial Times reports the measures took effect immediately, catching some market participants off guard. Tax authorities worldwide are increasingly viewing cryptocurrency transactions as taxable events, mirroring treatment of traditional financial instruments.
