👀 Bitcoin’s 21 Million Cap: It’s Math, Not Magic 🧮✨

Many assume Bitcoin’s 21 million supply limit is hardcoded, but it’s actually the result of a meticulously crafted mathematical system:

🔹 Mining Rewards: Bitcoin started with a reward of 50 BTC per block.
🔹 Halving Cycle: Every 210,000 blocks (~4 years), the reward is halved (50 → 25 → 12.5 → and so on).
🔹 Geometric Series: As rewards decrease, the total sum of all mined Bitcoin converges toward 21 million.

This limit isn’t an arbitrary number—it's a product of Bitcoin’s decentralized design and mathematical brilliance. 🧠🔗

It’s not magic. It’s math. 💡

France Wants Bitcoin HODLers to Pay Taxes on 'Unproductive Wealth'
A Web3 marketer told Decrypt a Bitcoin tax on unrealized gains is “worrying” and “feels pretty out of touch with how volatile crypto markets are.”

Earlier this week French Senator Sylvie Vermeillet proposed classifying Bitcoin and other digital assets as “unproductive,” arguing they should be taxed like luxury items and vacant properties.

The bill in question classifies cryptocurrencies as unproductive assets for the 2025 budget, meaning that taxes will be imposed on unrealized gains if they exceed €800,000.

Paris-based Alice Stork, founder of Web3 public relations agency ICL, told Decrypt that a Bitcoin tax on unrealized gains is “worrying” and “feels pretty out of touch with how volatile crypto markets are.”

What happens when the value of your holdings drops after you've already paid taxes on "gains" you never cashed out, she mused. According to her, the measure could push “innovators and businesses away from France.”

So far, the proposal has passed the Senate in a preliminary vote and been endorsed by the country’s Finance Minister, Laurent Saint-Martin.

The Finance Minister claimed that the change to how Bitcoin gains are taxed makes the system more balanced.

If passed, French cryptocurrency holders would have to report foreign cryptocurrency holdings annually in the Cerfa 3916-bis form. Fines for failing to report crypto holdings abroad would range from €750 to €1,500.

Sébastien Martin, the CEO and co-founder of French crypto risk management firm RAID Square, told Decrypt that because Vermeillet is Vice Président of the Sénat, one of the 2 Chambers of the French Parliament, he’s heavyweight in the nation’s politics.

Martin added that he is also a member of “Parti Radical,” France’s oldest political party and “part of the political parties supporting the policy led by the French Président, Emmanuel Macron.”

France’s interest in levying taxes on Bitcoin HODLers follows other crypto regulation efforts.

As Decrypt reported in early November, France's National Gaming Authority is reportedly planning to block Polymarket. This blockchain-based prediction market platform saw $3.5 billion in trading volume during the U.S. presidential election. But after receiving scrutiny from regulators there, it has blocked French users.

Bitcoin Price Unfazed as Mt. Gox Shifts Another $352 Million Worth of BTC
Now that repayment has been postponed until 2025, a transfer of $352 million "does not affect the market volatility much anymore," a source told Decrypt.

An address containing a large amount of Bitcoin owned by long-defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox just moved funds.

About seven hours before press time, nearly 6,620 BTC worth about $352.7 million were transferred from a Mt. Gox address to an unknown wallet, according to data provided by blockchain intelligence service Arkham Intelligence. The data shows that the exchange is in a heightened level of activity after yesterday’s reports of another Bitcoin transaction worth $2.8 billion.

Market data shows the Bitcoin price has not reacted to the transfer in any evident way, trading laterally mostly between $97,000 and $98,000 after it occurred. At the time of writing, BTC is trading 4.8% lower than it was this time yesterday, according to CoinGecko data.

"Typically, announcements from Mt. Gox have a negative impact on the market, often causing Bitcoin's price to decline," notes Min Jung, an analyst and researcher from Presto Labs, told Decrypt earlier this week about the much larger transfer.

The reduced impact of Mt. Gox transactions is likely to be attributed to the bullish market sentiment and a recent announcement by the Mt. Gox redistribution team that it’s postponing creditor repayment by one year. This means that until then, no transaction on Mt. Gox’s part will result in an immediate increase in sell pressure on Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash.

Founder of Obchakevich Research Alex Obchakevich told Decrypt that another reason may be that “the market is becoming more mature every year and the capitalization and trading volumes are increasing by billions with the liquidity “growing incredibly fast.”

Therefore, he reasoned, “$353 million does not affect the market volatility much anymore.”

Mt. Gox is shorthand for “Magic: The Gathering Online eXchange,” a name given to the exchange when it still dealt in trading cards at launch in 2010, before Bitcoin was introduced on the platform. After the service pivoted to Bitcoin it captured the almost totality of the market and became the most popular way to buy and sell the world’s first cryptocurrency online.

As a result of a 2014 hack, Mt. Gox lost almost 750,000 BTC owned by its customers and 100,000 of its own. This amount of Bitcoin was equivalent to around 7% of all Bitcoin in circulation at the time.

That’s why in the past, news surrounding Mt. Gox creditor repayment has held a lot of sway over market sentiment. Arkham Intelligence data shows that as of press time the exchange’s wallets still contain 39,705 BTC worth nearly $3.9 billion.

DZ Bank starts piloting retail crypto offering with first community bank

In March we reported that DZ Bank had partnered with Börse Stuttgart to provide retail cryptocurrency trading and custody services to the clients of German co-operative banks. DZ Bank provides services to a network of 737 community banks, so called Volks and Raiffeisenbanke. Now it is starting to pilot the solution with the first bank, Westerwald Bank, opening crypto wallets and starting to transact. Many other co-operative banks are expected to go live in 2025, although the timing is up to each institution.

While these won’t be the first group of banks offering crypto services, it is still relatively novel for banks to provide crypto trading to retail clients. In Switzerland, the post office’s PostFinance launched crypto services in February. Other major German banks such as Commerzbank and LBBW are planning or started offering services, but only to corporate clients.

Börse Stuttgart will provide cryptocurrency trading and digital asset custody. It already has significant experience with retail crypto in Germany through the Börse Stuttgart Digital Exchange (BSDEX). That was launched in 2019 as a joint venture with Axel Springer and finanzen.net.

👉 DZ Bank has a separate relationship with 🚨Ripple Custody (formerly Metaco)🚨 which forms part of its institutional custody solution. Initially the relationship targeted custody for crypto securities, the German term for digital securities issued on a blockchain. However, it expanded to cryptocurrency custody, but also for institutional clients of DZ Bank.
