Yesterday 🇬🇧, HM Revenue & Customs published the first official stats on the UK's Bitcoin & Crypto Tax figures, and the "Crypto Millionaires" data.

➡️ BBA's Centre for Evidence-Based Blockchain has produced a plain-English summary outlining key facts & figures, which you can find in the link in the comments.

📍Some Key Facts:

✅ Bitcoin and crypto have created an entirely new kind of taxpayer

✅ 17,600 people reported a taxable cryptoasset gain:

➡️ £13.8 billion of disposal proceeds
➡️ £1.38 billion of gains
➡️ Average gain: £78,000

✅ 240 people reported cryptoasset gains of £1 million or more in 2024/25: £717 million between them

✅ 65% of reporters had crypto gains under £25,000 and produced 7% of the gains

✅ 54% of people paying Capital Gains Tax on crypto are aged 25 to 44

It is interesting that we still do not have an SI unit for "value".

As we approach "Singularity" when AI agents, data, and human systems converge, the most important question arises:

➡️ How will humanity measure #value?

📍To become the 8th SI base unit, we need two things:

✅ A defining constant
and
✅ A unit of measure

❓Which digital asset could become an internationally agreed SI Unit of "value"?

➡️ Established by the BBA in 2020, the Blockchain Associations Forum (#BAF) brings together #blockchain associations and think-tanks from across the globe on a joint platform to foster “nations’ collective wisdom” and to debate some of the most pressing #policy and #regulatory issues affecting the digital economy.

Prof. Dr @Prof Naseem Naqvi MBE MBE FBBA is the Founding Chair of BAF.

📍 Do you make decisions based on high-quality Evidence?

✅ Evidence-Based Blockchain is conscientious, explicit, and judicious decision-making grounded in professional expertise plus the best available evidence from organisations, stakeholders, and scientific research.

➡️ BBA's Centre for Evidence-Based Blockchain (#CEBB), established in 2018, is the world's first such centre dedicated to EBB. It is a neutral, global coalition of leading think-tanks and practitioners that:

✅ Applies the #PCIO framework (Problem – Comparison – Intervention – Outcomes)

✅ Uses the #5As method (Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, Assess)

✅ Sets benchmarks so policymakers and industry can distinguish signal from noise

✅ Bridges academia and practice so research actually informs deployment
When you ask “Does this actually work"? you protect public money, protect users, and protect the credibility of the entire field.
