The change in tax policy, expected to impact about 700,000 people in the UK, was related to the disposal of crypto in lending and liquidity pools. The UK’s tax authority announced that it planned to treat “certain disposals” related to cryptocurrency lending and liquidity pools as transactions that would effectively defer the country’s capital gains requirements. In a Monday announcement, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) said that starting on April 6, 2027, it would adopt a “no gain, no loss” approach to disposals involving crypto loans and liquidity pools.
