  The Biden administration’s proposal to catch tax dodgers is extending to the cryptocurrency world, which saw the US Internal Revenue Service add a line about crypto to its individual tax return form in 2020. The U.S. Treasury said the Biden administration’s proposal to strengthen tax compliance includes a requirement for transfers of at least $10,000 of cryptocurrency to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. “As with cash transactions, businesses that receive cryptoassets with a fair-market value of more than $10,000 would also be reported on,” the Treasury Department said in a report on tax-enforcement proposals released Thursday. The Treasury said that comprehensive reporting is necessary “to minimize the incentives and opportunity to shift income out of the new information reporting regime.” It noted that cryptocurrency is a small share of current business transactions. Bitcoin pared a rebound from Wednesday’s rout on the IRS announcement, which shaved about...

DUBAI: A Dubai free zone focused on airport business is moving into the booming crypto sector. Companies trading with crypto assets can now obtain a business license at the Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority (DAFZA) in a new agreement that supports the mainstream use of blockchain technology. The free zone agreed with the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) to allow the regulation, offering, issuance, listing and trading of crypto assets within DAFZA. It will enhance the free zone’s regulatory framework and legislative environment in a bid to attract foreign investors. It is the latest example of how aviation-facing businesses are adapting to the upheaval in global travel while at the same time Dubai looks at new ways of attracting foreign investors to establish operations in the emirate. Moves to legalize full foreign ownership in some sectors of the UAE economy means that some free zones are also  looking to adapt their business models. “DAFZA is continuously working to a...

The events of that last couple days and weeks have made me think: "I have to get involved in something beyond bitcoin," Portnoy said Amid the slump sweeping across most crypto assets Tuesday, investors were turning their attention to a meme asset, SafeMoon, that was drawing fresh looks after comments made by Barstool Sports’s brash founder Dave Portnoy on Twitter. Portnoy on Tuesday cheekily announced that he was buying $40,000 in SafeMoon , out of an array of so-called meme assets like Shiba Inu and other assets that have benefited from the fervor around the parabolic surge in dogecoin prices DOGEUSD,  -12.65%  so far this year. SafeMoon was created in March and is encoded to benefit hodlers, or those who invest in a coin through bad times and good. Portnoy via Twitter described SafeCoin as his “sh-tcoin accouncement” and warned followers to “invest at their own risk,” adding that he has “no idea how this works.” “The events of the last couple days and weeks h...

  CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Less than a month ago, Phil Villareal had a cryptocurrency wallet online worth more than $30,000. Villareal said it was seed money to help his family. "That’s a lifetime of money for me right there," he said. "That money for me was going to be a gateway to helping my nephew and niece with their college." Villareal explained how he began investing in cryptocurrencies a few years ago because of the potential for massive returns compared to a traditional bank account. One morning in late April, when he signed into his account on the crypto exchange Uphold, he he noticed his account had been drained in a series of transactions transferring funds to an unknown digital wallet. “I was in panic,” he said. “Because I’m a religious person, the first thing I did was basically just go to my faith and pray on this.” Villareal added that he began to contact Uphold through opening online customer service tickets and calling a number that came up via Google....
