European Parliament Passes Resolution on Crypto Tax and Blockchain Use To Make Tax Collection More Efficient
The European Parliament has adopted a resolution relating to taxes for the crypto market. A press release published on October 4 said that the Members of the Parliament of the European Union (MEP) passed a non-binding resolution that delivers a framework for taxing crypto and using blockchain tech in taxation.
The resolution says that crypto assets “must be subject to fair, transparent, and effective taxation.” However, it does ask authorities to consider a simplified tax treatment for “occasional or small traders and small transactions.” This will be a relief for smaller investors worried about heavy taxation, which has happened in some countries, such as India.

Bitcoin Mining Software Gets a Serious Upgrade
Software utilized in bitcoin mining projects is about to get its first major upgrade in roughly ten years, and financial companies – including Block (formerly known as Square) are looking to take advantage.
Bitcoin Mining Needs to Undergo Some ChangesOne of the big issues surrounding bitcoin mining is that it operates on a proof of work (PoW) protocol, which many environmentalists think could lead the planet into a dark corner. Proof of work allegedly requires more energy than some countries, and it’s believed that if miners continue this path, the atmosphere is going to take a brutal beating.
Today, many bitcoin mining enterprises utilize software known as Stratum, which allegedly facilitates communication between miners, mining pools, and related crypto networks. It combines all the BTC hashing power throughout the world and secures it under a single roof. Stratum is then used by miners to not only submit their work but garner necessary rewards for extracting new units and adding them to the blockchain.

Chainalysis: Crypto Crime Outlets Have Become Limited
Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis says in a new report that crypto crime fighting has been effective to some degree. While the amount of crime hasn’t necessarily fallen in recent years, the fight against it has limited criminals to certain platforms when cashing out, transferring their stolen funds into fiat, or engaging in illicit transactions.
New Chainalysis Report Says Criminals Don’t Have That Many EnterprisesIn its report, Chainalysis says most criminals are limited to about 915 digital platforms to engage in illegal transfers. This is the smallest number recorded since 2012, arguably a year when crypto was still very new and in development. The analysis company also said that many illicit firms have gone out of business in recent years, thus keeping criminals contained to fewer options as they no longer have the large havens to explore when engaging in illegal transactions.

Is Ethereum Outshining Bitcoin in Terms of Fees? Crypto Voices Share Thoughts
Lately, the crypto sphere, with bitcoin aficionados in particular, has been buzzing with chatter about the fees pocketed by BTC miners. They’re pondering if these fees will adequately offset the impending 2024 halving and the accompanying drop in revenue. On the other hand, Ethereum, the runner-up in the crypto world, is raking in significantly higher weekly fees. Here’s an insight into the leading blockchain networks and where users are truly shelling out for block space.
Bitcoin Proponents Discuss the 2 Leading Blockchains and Transfer FeesMany of today’s leading blockchain networks come with transfer fees, designed to motivate miners or validators to oversee and validate transactions, fortifying the network.
