Iran eases FX rules to use crypto amid U.S. sanctions:
The central bank now lets exporters fund imports directly with overseas earnings, including via USDT and BTC through local exchanges without first selling FX at official rates.
The move follows U.S. sanctions on Iranian crypto exchanges and reports of billions in crypto flows linked to Iran.

What if the CLARITY Act fails in 2026? The Senate faces a narrow window:
Without 60 votes, the bill could slip into the 2027 Congress (midterms may flip the House/Senate), potentially remaking or killing it.
Sen. Lummis warns the next real chance could be 2030.
Even if Congress flips, the White House and SEC/CFTC leadership likely stay Republican until 2029, with chairs Atkins/Selig ready to regulate crypto without CLARITY.

Germany proposes 25% crypto tax from 2028:
A draft from the Finance Ministry would tax trading profits on crypto acquired after Jan 1, 2027 at a flat 25%, ending the current rule that makes gains tax‑free after 12 months.
Assets bought before 2027 would be grandfathered under existing rules.
The overhaul aims to raise ~€2B annually.
