Crypto taxes will be determined after the war. Miner sales have collapsed the price of Bitcoin. Solana expects a 9-fold rise. The number of crypto ATMs worldwide is approaching a record.

Taxation of crypto may be postponed until the war ends — Zheleznyak 
 

Questions about the taxation of crypto and other virtual assets will be considered in the post-war period. This was announced by Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a deputy from the Golos political party.
 

The National Bank and the National Securities Commission plan to publish a preliminary version of the bill on the legalization of cryptocurrencies by the end of 2024. The exact dates will depend on how quickly Ukrainian regulators will be able to receive and process the IMF recommendations.
 

The participation of international experts in the development of the draft law is stipulated by the Memorandum on Economic and Financial Policy. The IMF believes that the lack of cryptocurrency regulation threatens price stability and the effectiveness of monetary activity in Ukraine.
 

Previously, the Ministry of Digital Transformation stated that the regulation of cryptocurrencies would have a powerful impact on the country’s economy, generating a turnover of billions of hryvnias. 

Solana may rise 9 times in price after ETF launch 
 

VanEck (USA) and 21Shares (Switzerland) investment giants have sent applications to the SEC to register exchange-traded funds based on the Solana cryptocurrency. This was reported on June 27.
 

If approved, the product will be traded on the Cboe BZX platform. Coinbase Custody Trust will be responsible for the custody of SOL-ETF.
 

Experts of the GSR market maker suggested three scenarios that the cryptocurrency price may follow after the funds’ approval:

1. Bearish — 1.4x growth. 
2. Basic — 3.4x growth. 
3. Bullish — 8.9x growth. 

Analysts predict large inflows of investments in SOL-ETFs and expect their impact on the exchange rate to be more significant than in the case of the launch of Bitcoin funds.
 

Bloomberg says the likelihood of applications being approved in the coming year depends largely on the outcome of the US election. 

Crypto investors lose billions to deepfakes 
 

Since 2022, investors have lost $79.1 billion due to deep fakes — fraudulent videos that use celebrity images. The corresponding data was published by the crypto exchange Bitget.
 

Since the beginning of 2024, the number of false videos has increased by 245%. If no action is taken, crypto investors risk losing $25.13 billion in a year, having fallen for the tricks of fraudsters, and by 2026, the number of such crimes may increase by 70%.
 

AI and machine learning algorithms are used to create deepfakes. New technologies allow for recognizing the behavior of famous persons and accurately imitating their facial expressions, voice, and movements. Criminals create realistic videos in which they impersonate other people, promote scam projects, and steal users’ personal data and money.
 

A comprehensive legal system to combat cyber fraud has not yet been developed, so experts urge users to be vigilant and observe security measures in the crypto space. Before taking any action, you should check the information from the video in official sources.
