@DAAA_at Working Group Legal Update Great session today with strong legal and industry input. Oliver Volkel (from Cerha Hempel) shared his view on the CFTC Opinion Paper on prediction markets and its possible impact on the EU. Key takeaway was simple: a token wrapper does not change the underlying legal nature; you cant avoid financial instrument classification just by tokenizing it. Another important point: prediction markets should stay independent from any financial nexus. If not, they risk being treated as a security offering. 👉Here's the link to the CFTC publication: cftc.gov/csl/26-08/download We also heard from Oliver Schmitt (@Vi3nnaCongress). He shared an update on the upcoming Vienna Declaration. It will include a regulatory, legal and tax track within an academic framework. Definitely one to watch. 🇦🇹 DAAA continues to play an important role as Austria’s industry body for digital assets. The working groups are open to anyone being member at the DAAA. 👉 Reach out for membership opportunities Good to see contributions this time from @BlackMantaCap Cerha Hempel @EY_Law @bank_erste oenb, Raiffeisen Bank International @uni_li @21bitcoinApp @blockpit_io and @validvent

🇨🇭Looking forward to join this year‘s SWISS BITCOIN CONFERENCE 👉 Main Stage Day II 17.00 Tax Panel with colleagues from the whole DACH region Which topics should we discuss? Drop them below or DM A tldr from my notes: Germany: The 1-year holding rule is increasingly under political pressure Austria: The reform showed that retroactive tax changes are not off the table Switzerland: Clear rules and wealth tax create a stable, predictable framework From 2026 DAC8 introduces automatic reporting by exchanges & the era of limited transparency is effectively over: voluntary disclosure is still possible, but the window is narrowing. Structuring is key: private holding vs. corporate setups like a GmbH depends on the individual case Common and costly mistakes include FIFO issues, fragmented wallets and poor transaction tracking

Coding with AI agents? This @lexfridman interview with @steipete (OpenClaw creator) is mandatory viewing 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=YFjfBk8H… Long but full of absolute gold: 1. Models restart with 0 context every prompt, give them empathy rich context or they’ll make silly mistakes 2. Never fight the model on names (files, classes, etc) It picks the statistically best names so future sessions actually find them 3. After finishing a task (context still hot) always ask: “Anything we should clean up or refactor?” #3 has been my biggest win by far! Super obvious in hindsight Tried any of these? What’s worked for you? 🔥

New @openclaw beta is up! This release is full of security hardening stuff so you really wanna get it. Ask your clanker to update to beta. github.com/openclaw/openclaw…
