the Finance Committee of the German Bundestag has rejected a cryptocurrency tax reform proposal put forward by the Green Party.The proposal originally aimed to abolish the policy that exempts capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies sold after being held for more than one year. Under current German law, individuals are exempt from capital gains tax when selling crypto assets held for over a year.The Green Party argued that crypto assets should be subject to the same tax rules as other investment assets. However, opponents pointed out that the proposal could result in a higher tax burden for crypto investors compared to ordinary stock investors. The Green Party estimated that scrapping the relevant tax exemption could generate an additional approximately €11.4 billion in tax revenue annually for Germany. (Cryptopolitan)

According to CoinDesk, as the U.S. midterm elections heat up, cryptocurrency industry political action committees (PACs) are significantly increasing their financial support for congressional races. Some newly formed PACs are shifting their focus toward Republican candidates. The report notes that Fairshake remains the most influential super PAC in the industry, having already influenced primary outcomes in states like Texas through large-scale spending—and contributing to the defeat of long-time critic, Representative Al Green. Meanwhile, newer PACs such as Fellowship and the Digital Freedom Fund are backing Republican candidates more heavily, potentially undermining the bipartisan balance the crypto industry has maintained across several previous election cycles.
Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that pro-crypto Democratic candidate Christian Menefee defeated 20-year incumbent Representative Al Green in the TX-18 Democratic primary runoff. In this election, crypto-industry-backed super PACs spent millions of dollars—Fairshake and its affiliated organizations alone contributed approximately $6.5 million, mostly to support Menefee and a smaller portion to oppose Green. Previously, Green received an “F” rating from Stand With Crypto due to his opposition to legislation including the GENIUS Act and the Clarity Act. Fairshake stated it will continue actively supporting leaders like Menefee across the United States.

: Richard Green, Head of Ecosystem and Institutional Relations at Rootstock Labs, stated that as overall DeFi liquidity continues to decline, Bitcoin DeFi projects are pivoting their focus toward smaller but deeper-pocketed user groups.Speaking at the BTC Prague conference, Green noted that the crypto-native traders and hedge funds that were once easily accessible have largely retreated due to capital outflows from the DeFi market. Data shows that the total value locked in DeFi protocols has fallen from approximately $180 billion in October last year to around $70 billion currently.Against this backdrop, Rootstock is targeting its products—such as lending and yield offerings—toward Bitcoin miners and digital asset treasury companies. These users typically hold large amounts of BTC but may need to access liquidity or generate yield without selling their assets.Green believes that current demand for Bitcoin DeFi is not widely distributed but rather concentrated among a few high-capital niche groups. For project teams, the key challenge is no longer acquiring users at scale targeting general DeFi participants, but designing products around real balance sheet needs.
