NETHERLANDS TO TAX UNREALIZED BITCOIN GAINS Netherlands is moving toward taxing unrealized capital gains on bitcoin, stocks, bonds, and other assets after parliament voted to overhaul annual income tax filings. Under the new system, investors will owe tax each year based on changes in asset value, even if nothing has been sold. The reform, known as Wet werkelijk rendement Box 3, is scheduled for 2028 and will tax actual returns by measuring the difference between an asset’s value at the start and end of the year, plus any income received. That means both realized and unrealized gains will be taxed. Critics warn the shift could create serious liquidity problems, forcing investors to pay taxes on paper gains without having cashed out.

NEW: 🇬🇧 Former Bank of England analyst Helen McCaw warns that official confirmation of extraterrestrial life could trigger instant global financial chaos. McCaw has urged BoE Governor Andrew Bailey to prepare contingency plans, saying clear evidence of advanced non-human intelligence would cause severe “ontological shock,” extreme volatility, bank runs, and potential payment system collapse within hours. She predicts an initial flight to bitcoin as trust in government-backed assets erodes, while warning that gold and precious metals could lose safe-haven status if new space technologies imply abundant future supply. “With undisputed evidence, total financial instability would arrive within hours,” McCaw said, pointing to recent US official statements and declassification efforts as signs the issue is nearing a breaking point.
