PDAXScope: HYPE unlocks, XRP exposure, UK taxes

Market Watch: HYPE Leads Massive $500M+ Week of Token Unlocks (BitPinas)

According to BitPinas, the cryptocurrency market is heading into a period when a lot of previously locked tokens will become tradable, increasing the supply available for trading between December 29 and January 5. The biggest single unlock in that window is Hyperliquid’s HYPE token, with about US $251.19 million worth of tokens becoming available at once, which is much more than most other projects on the list. Analysts say large token unlocks like this can influence prices and volatility because when more tokens become tradable, early holders may sell or rebalance their positions, especially if demand doesn’t absorb the extra supply.

VivoPower, an energy-infrastructure company, is planning to buy up to US $300 million worth of shares in Ripple – the company behind the XRP token – and could end up holding nearly US $1 billion in XRP exposure, as reported by CoinDesk. Analysts note that such large institutional accumulation can influence market sentiment, but it also ties the company’s financial performance more closely to the future of XRP and related legal or regulatory outcomes.

Crypto users forced to share account details with tax officials (BBC)

People who buy or sell cryptocurrency in the UK now have to share their account details with tax authorities, or risk penalties, under new rules that took effect on January 1, according to BBC. The changes allow HM Revenue & Customs (the UK’s tax office) to automatically collect data from crypto exchanges so it can better track profits and collect unpaid taxes, especially capital gains tax. Officials say this will make it harder for crypto investors to hide gains, could raise up to £300 million over five years, and is part of wider global efforts – along with tougher regulation – to bring crypto more in line with traditional financial systems.
