2025.10.31 18:08:25

On October 31st, the cryptocurrency law enforcement task force T3 Financial Crime Unit announced that during its first year of operation, the department has frozen $3 billion of illegal funds. This accomplishment has received praise from international law enforcement agencies and has demonstrated the self-regulatory capacity of the stablecoin industry. The department was established at the end of 2024 and was jointly formed by the stablecoin issuer Tether, the blockchain network Tron (TRON), and the blockchain intelligence platform TRM Labs. Initially, it was aimed at purifying stablecoin activities on the TRON network. Today, T3 has evolved into a global blockchain security law enforcement model, marking a significant transformation in the crypto industry towards compliance and accountability. The department is responsible for monitoring on-chain transactions and coordinating the seizure of high-risk assets, including "Ponzi schemes" and the flow of funds from European organized crime networks. Currently, its investigations have covered five continents. Most recently, the Brazilian Federal Police officially recognized T3's assistance in the "Lusocoin Operation", a major money laundering case, highlighting the increasingly crucial role of public-private cooperation in preventing crypto financial crime.

The IRS Implements New Digital Asset Reporting Standard to Combat Tax Evasion

April 15th — The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has officially rolled out mandatory cost basis reporting rules for digital asset brokers, set to take effect on April 15, 2026. Per financefeeds, the rules apply to centralized exchanges, custodial wallet service providers, and certain digital asset custodians. Under the new regulations, affected parties must submit Form 1099-DA to both the IRS and taxpayers, documenting sales and exchanges of digital assets. The IRS notes the move aims to reduce underreporting of digital asset capital gains and align cryptocurrency tax reporting standards with those for traditional securities. For investors, this means they’ll need to more accurately track and preserve the purchase price, acquisition date, and on-chain transaction records for each token moving forward.

Analysis: Bitcoin ETF Holder Cost Averaging at Around $74.2K, Current Market Structure Yet to Be Optimized

On April 15, cryptocurrency quantitative analyst @AxelAdlerJr noted that Bitcoin recently touched the **average entry cost for U.S. Bitcoin ETF holders**—$74,200. Should Bitcoin hold above this level consistently, ETF holders will shift from a loss position to breakeven (neutral). A drop below it, however, signals the market structure remains weak, with downside pressure persisting. On the other hand, Short-Term Holders (STH) have a cost basis of roughly $83,734—this is the key resistance level in the current market. The analyst argues Bitcoin’s market structure will see more meaningful improvement only when the gap between the ETF holders’ cost basis and the STH cost basis narrows further.
