Slovenia Plans to Implement 25% Tax Rate on Crypto Capital Gains Starting 2026
The Slovenian Ministry of Finance has proposed a 25% tax rate on cryptocurrency capital gains starting in 2026. This would apply to transactions where crypto assets are converted into fiat currency or used for consumption, but would not include exchanges between crypto assets. The Ministry stated that this move aims to close gaps in the current tax system and align the taxation of crypto earnings with that of traditional investment returns like stocks and bonds. Earnings prior to January 1, 2026, will not be subject to this tax, and trading losses can be carried forward to offset future gains. It is estimated that the new tax regime could generate 2.5 to 25 million euros in annual revenue for the country, and the Ministry is currently seeking public opinion. According to European Central Bank data, Slovenia has the highest crypto holding rate in the eurozone, with about 15% of adults owning cryptocurrencies in 2023. (CoinDesk)

The rebound in US Treasury yields suppresses US stock futures as the market awaits the Federal Reserve meeting minutes.
During Wednesday's European trading session, US stock index futures were subdued as a rebound in US Treasury yields weighed on investor sentiment, with markets awaiting the release of the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes by the Federal Reserve. The US bond market continued to face pressure, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising above 5.30%, and the 30-year yield hovering around 5.69%. Persistent inflation concerns, a widening fiscal deficit, and a significant increase in artificial intelligence-related bond issuance are key factors keeping yields elevated. Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are driving up crude oil prices, further intensifying inflationary pressures and sustaining expectations of interest rate hikes. However, recent weakness in US labor market data has lowered expectations for an aggressive tightening policy by the Federal Reserve. According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders currently estimate only about a 22% probability of a rate hike at the Fed's October meeting.
French fiscal crisis deepens, euro drops to its lowest level against the pound since June last year
Due to the ongoing fiscal crisis in France and new political risks emerging in Europe, the euro dropped against the pound to its lowest level since June last year. The euro fell as much as 0.4% against the pound to 0.8449, breaking below this year's low set in July. Earlier this week, the euro had already fallen to a 17-month low against the US dollar, and on Wednesday, it also underperformed most G10 currencies. France is currently facing increasing pressure in its bond market. Missed fiscal deficit targets, gridlocked policies, and the possibility of significant policy shifts due to next year's presidential election are all undermining investor confidence. On Tuesday, far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen called on the European Central Bank to intervene in order to reduce the rapidly rising government financing costs. The turmoil in the French market has already spread to the European government bond market. Last week, European bonds experienced a large-scale sell-off, reviving memories of the eurozone debt crisis.
