The executive director outlined some potential challenges in complying with the new regulations. “For example, if a miner or validator receives block rewards in excess of $10,000, whose name, address, and social security number do they report?” he began. “If you engage in an on-chain decentralized exchange of crypto for crypto and you therefore receive $10,000 in cryptocurrency, who do you report? And by what standard should you measure whether an amount of a particular cryptocurrency is equivalent to more than $10,000?”

He also questioned when someone makes a donation, such as in bitcoin (BTC) or ether (ETH), anonymously to a public address, who would the recipient list as the donor? “These are all questions the Treasury Department has yet to answer,” the executive director stressed.

Noting that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) “has not issued any guidance answering these and other questions,” Brito further pointed out that there is also currently no form provided by the Treasury Department to report crypto transactions.

“The Secretary requires ‘cash’ to be reported using Form 8300, but has not explained how cryptocurrency, which is now a form of ‘cash’ under the law, should be reported on this form,” he described, adding: “Form 8300 is today sent to FinCEN [Financial Crimes Enforcement Network] as well as the IRS. Unlike with physical cash transactions, FinCEN has no authority to collect reports concerning cryptocurrency transactions, so one cannot be required to send Form 8300 there.”

Brito also clarified that the law applies to individuals as well as businesses. He explained in an X post on Tuesday:

The obligation applies to *individuals* if they receive $10k+ in the course of their trade or business, not just ‘businesses.’ So, if I’m a miner (even as an individual) I’m covered. Also, if I’m a day trader (even as an individual) I’m covered.

Moreover, he noted: “If I’m an NFT [non-fungible token] artist it would also cover me even if I don’t have an incorporated business, etc.”

While reiterating, “Again, it is not just ‘businesses’ that must comply but individuals too if they receive the funds in the course of their trade or business,” the Coin Center executive director opined: “That all said, what constitutes ‘trade or business’? Well, it’s not exactly clear from Treasury guidance to date. No clear bright line rule that I can find.”

Korean scientists are combining rice and beef by growing animal muscle and fat cells inside rice grains.

“The remaining packages, hopefully, will be completed by the end of this year. It’s only we anticipate that one or two packages could be delayed due to the challenges, especially the shortage of building materials and their rising costs,”

Two international hotels are set to grace the town of Sematan, located approximately 107 kilometers west of here in Sarawak. These hotels will be constructed through private investments totaling RM120 million. The visionary behind this development is none other than Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. The project aligns with the Post-Covid-19 Development Strategy, which aims to harness private investment funds for Sarawak’s growth. Interestingly, the hotel designs are reminiscent of the iconic Palm Hotel in Dubai1. With this ambitious endeavor, Sematan aspires to become a little slice of Dubai in Sarawak! 🌴🏨

Additionally, in Kuching, Sarawak, there’s another exciting development: a 12-story, 200-room hotel forming part of a RM400 million land development project. This collaboration involves the Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) and UDA Holdings Bhd (UDA). The hotel will grace Jalan Datuk Merican Salleh and promises to be a significant addition to the city’s landscape2.

These ventures signify Sarawak’s commitment to progress and its determination to attract visitors from around the world.
