The government has introduced a new capital gains tax (CGT) rule that affects individuals with over $3 million AUD in assets—including digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies . But what makes this tax different from before? It’s not just about the gains you make when you sell. Now, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) wants to tax “unrealized gains” —which means even if you haven't sold your crypto, you could still owe tax on the increase in its value.

Starting August 1, 2025 , the city will begin regulating stablecoins officially.

This isn’t your everyday crypto transfer — it involved nearly 80,000 BTC , valued at over $8.7 billion . The sudden activity has sparked curiosity, speculation, and even a bit of fear across social media and financial circles. 📦 What Happened? Two old Bitcoin wallets — dating back to April and May 2011 — were activated after years of complete silence. At the time those wallets were created, Bitcoin was worth just around $1 . Fast forward to today, each Bitcoin is worth over $108,000 , making this one of the largest long-term crypto gains ever recorded. The transactions happened in eight separate batches, all within just a few hours. 👀 Who Might Be Behind It? No one knows for sure. Some believe it could be one of Bitcoin's early miners or developers , possibly someone who mined BTC back when it was almost worth...
