According to CoinEdition, the UK’s 2025 Autumn Budget has confirmed that cryptocurrency will remain subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) at 18% and 24%, rather than being taxed as income at up to 45%. This decision aligns crypto with property and shares, reinforcing its status as a legitimate financial asset. Executives from Ripple and Gemini praised the move for offering regulatory clarity and long-term stability. The UK Treasury raised CGT rates from 10% and 20% to 18% and 24%, but avoided reclassifying crypto as a gambling product. The decision is expected to position the UK as a competitive hub for crypto adoption, especially as some European countries propose higher crypto taxes.
