[Aave Founder Says New UK Tax Rules Simplify Taxation and Promote Crypto Institutional Adoption] Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the DeFi tax guidelines released by the UK's HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) could become a turning point for the UK's crypto lending sector. According to the guidelines, depositing digital assets like USDC or USDT into DeFi platforms will not be considered a taxable disposal. Users will only need to pay capital gains tax when they actually dispose of assets through selling, converting, or cashing out. This new approach classifies regular DeFi transactions as 'no gain, no loss,' providing investors with clearer tax guidance. Kulechov pointed out that this simplified tax method reduces the tax burden and helps both institutions and retail investors participate more broadly in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
