Solflare stated that a security incident involving its SOL staking service provider has impacted the Solflare validator node keys held by that provider, and an investigation is currently underway. As a result, Solflare validator nodes are temporarily unable to generate staking rewards. Solflare emphasized that user-delegated SOL is stored in staking accounts controlled by users' own keys, and user funds remain unaffected.
TechFlow News, April 22: According to CoinDesk, Kraken stated that it has filed 56 million cryptocurrency transaction tax forms with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the 2025 tax year. Of these, approximately 18.5 million forms report transactions under $1, 74% report amounts under $50, and only 8.5% exceed $600. Kraken noted that the absence of a de minimis exemption threshold for cryptocurrency payments—and the current treatment of staking rewards as ordinary income upon receipt—are imposing a significant reporting burden on investors. Kraken is urging the U.S. Congress to enact broader, inflation-indexed de minimis exemption rules and to allow taxpayers to elect whether staking rewards are taxed upon receipt or upon sale.
