UK Tax Authority Proposes Changes to Treatment of DeFi Lending, Staking

HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) proposal follows the 2022 call for evidence.

Regulators around the world have cast their eyes on DeFi, and policymakers have "highlighted specific risks including cyber risks and other technical risks," HMRC said.
