Bitcoin2026-09-20 00:39:47Robert Kiyosaki says the “biggest crash in history” has begun and he is still holding BitcoinRobert Kiyosaki said the “biggest crash in history” in global markets has already started, arguing that it will begin in Europe and Japan in 2026 before spreading worldwide. He linked the downturn to AI speculation, the war involving Iran, excessive debt, and the retirement of the baby boomer generation. Kiyosaki said he is not preparing by holding cash. Instead, he said he is positioned through his own businesses, income-producing real estate, investments in oil-producing wells, and holdings in Bitcoin, gold, and silver. He also said severe financial stress is likely to trigger another round of money printing. The report cited April data from the International Monetary Fund showing global public debt is close to 94% of GDP in 2025 and is projected to reach 100% by 2029. It also cited Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development figures showing that in 2025 there are 33 people aged 65 and over for every 100 people aged 20 to 64, with that number expected to rise to 52 by 2050.340
Argentina2026-09-18 21:54:02Argentina to share crypto transaction data by 2029 under OECD reporting frameworkArgentina has agreed to implement the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, or CARF, developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Under the plan, the country is set to automatically exchange crypto transaction data with other jurisdictions by 2029. The framework already includes 77 jurisdictions. Under CARF, virtual asset service providers must report user identity details and transaction data covering crypto purchases and sales made with fiat currency, digital asset exchanges, digital asset payments, and transfers involving external addresses. Argentina will receive overseas transaction information and share data related to domestic users with international regulators. The country is also required to put domestic rules in place by 2028. Those rules will define data collection requirements and set out how virtual asset service providers must submit information to tax authorities. The framework is intended to align reporting standards for crypto transactions more closely with those used for fiat transactions, helping tax authorities identify cross-border tax evasion, according to Bitcoin.com News.470
Argentina2026-09-18 21:54:48Argentina agrees to adopt OECD crypto reporting framework ahead of planned 2029 data exchangeArgentina has agreed to implement the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, or CARF, developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The country plans to begin automatically exchanging crypto transaction data with other jurisdictions by 2029. According to the report, 77 jurisdictions have already joined the framework. Under CARF, virtual asset service providers must report user identity information and data tied to crypto purchases and sales made with fiat currency, digital asset exchanges, digital asset payments, and transfers involving external addresses. Argentina is expected to receive transaction information from abroad and share data related to domestic users with international regulators. The report also said Argentina must put domestic rules in place by 2028. Those rules are expected to define data collection requirements and set out how virtual asset service providers must submit information to tax authorities. CARF is designed to apply reporting standards to crypto-asset transactions that are similar to those used for fiat transactions, with the stated goal of helping tax authorities identify cross-border tax evasion.440
OECD2026-09-09 03:29:03OECD’s largest-ever PISA test finds daily AI homework use linked to 28-point lower scoresThe Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, released its PISA 2025 results on Sept. 8, offering the first large-scale look at student performance after generative AI became widely available. The assessment covered more than 760,000 15-year-old students across 91 countries and economies, making it the biggest PISA exercise on record. According to the results, students who used AI for homework every day or almost every day scored 481 points in science, compared with 509 points for those who rarely or never used AI in that context. After adjusting for socioeconomic status, the gap stood at 28 points, which the report described as roughly equivalent to one and a half years of schooling. Across all use cases, the science-score gap between AI users and non-users was about 20 points. The findings were not entirely one-directional. Students who used AI about once a week to support learning posted the strongest results, at roughly 500 points, forming an inverted U-shaped pattern. OECD education and skills chief Andreas Schleicher said the issue was not AI itself, but whether students were taught how to evaluate AI-generated information. Among daily AI users, those who had regular classroom training on assessing AI outputs recovered 13 points in science scores.1210
CARF2026-09-09 02:26:16What RCASPs Must Report Under CARF and How Local Rules Change the FilingFinTax has published a detailed breakdown of what crypto platforms must actually report under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, or CARF, after the questions of who reports and where they report have already been settled. Under the OECD standard, a Reporting Crypto-Asset Service Provider (RCASP) must identify reportable users and relevant controlling persons through due diligence, classify their crypto transactions, and submit three main categories of information: RCASP data, user data, and transaction data. The article says the OECD framework sets a common international baseline, but final filing obligations are shaped by local law and technical guidance in each jurisdiction. That creates practical differences in several areas, including whether domestic tax residents must be reported, which fiat currency must be used for valuation, whether the $50,000 retail payment threshold is converted into a local-currency standard, how tax identification numbers are defined, and whether nil returns are required when no reportable information exists. FinTax also argues that CARF preparation cannot be left to the filing deadline. For RCASPs, compliance work needs to be built into customer management, KYC and tax due diligence, valuation methods, and transaction data architecture. For firms operating across borders, the same customer and transaction set may need to be configured differently for different jurisdictions when annual CARF reports are prepared.450
UK2026-08-28 11:10:53240 UK Crypto Taxpayers Declared £717M, More Than Half of All Crypto GainsHM Revenue & Customs has published crypto-asset capital gains figures for the 2024-25 tax year, showing a small group dominated the total. Two hundred and forty individuals each reported gains exceeding £1 million on crypto assets, together declaring £717 million – more than half of all reported crypto gains. Across the entire country, 17,600 taxpayers declared crypto gains totaling £1.38 billion, with disposal proceeds of £13.8 billion. 65% of filers reported gains below £25,000, yet they accounted for only 7% of the overall gains and 8% of disposal proceeds. Among filers, 54% are aged 25-44, 81% are 54 or younger, and men make up 87% of filers while contributing 93% of gains. The UK is moving forward with the OECD crypto-asset reporting framework; service providers must pass customer details to tax authorities, and HMRC will begin receiving data in 2027. Providers that fail to comply face fines of up to £300 per user. Treasury financial secretary James Murray said crypto gains are taxable just like other gains. The Treasury also plans to defer capital gains tax on DeFi lending and liquidity pool deposits until the assets are disposed of. For the 2025-26 tax year, gains above the allowance must be reported by January 31, 2027, according to Decrypt.980
UK2026-08-27 15:56:00UK tax data shows 240 people reported more than £1 million in crypto gainsUK tax data for the 2024 to 2025 tax year shows that 240 people reported capital gains of more than 1 million British pounds each from digital assets, according to figures released by HM Revenue and Customs. Their combined crypto-linked capital gains came to about $975 million. Across the same period, 17,600 people reported digital asset gains totaling $1.9 billion, while total crypto-related asset disposals from sales or trades reached $18.7 billion. The release adds to the UK’s wider push to tighten crypto tax reporting. Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General James Murray said gains on cryptoassets are taxable in the same way as other gains and that the government wants people profiting from crypto to understand what they owe. The UK is also moving under the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, which will require crypto asset service providers to submit data on users’ gains and losses that may not otherwise have been declared. The figures followed reports that the tax authority had sent more than 81,000 letters to people suspected of underpaying taxes, including crypto investors.450
UK2026-08-27 15:42:26UK tax authority separately discloses crypto gains in personal tax filings for the first timeThe UK’s HM Revenue & Customs, or HMRC, has separately disclosed crypto-asset gains data in personal income tax filings for the first time, according to CoinDesk. In the 2024-2025 tax year, 240 taxpayers reported more than £1 million in crypto capital gains, equivalent to about $1.36 million each at the cited conversion. A total of 17,600 people reported taxable gains from crypto-asset disposals, with aggregate proceeds reaching £1.38 billion, or about $1.87 billion. The average came to roughly £78,000, and nearly 90% of those filers were male. HMRC also said it has begun implementing the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, which requires crypto service providers to submit customer data to tax authorities. The agency expects to begin receiving that data from 2027 and plans to use it to cross-check taxpayer filings. Separately, HMRC said compliance and education efforts brought in an additional £168 million in capital gains tax during the 2024-2025 tax year.990
