Hosted by: Wall Street Blockchain Alliance
Location: Virtual (Zoom Webinar)
As regulated crypto investment products continue to mature, two major regulatory shifts are reshaping the digital-asset landscape:
(1) newly permitted staking inside regulated funds, and
(2) the rollout of IRS Form 1099-DA and expanded broker reporting.
On December 8, 2025, Ledgible will join the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance for a high-impact, timely webinar examining how these developments are changing the economics, compliance requirements, and operational responsibilities of crypto ETFs, ETPs, custodians, and fintechs.
This session arrives at a pivotal moment—where yield generation through staking now intersects directly with federal tax reporting and regulatory enforcement.
Why This Webinar Matters
Recent IRS and U.S. Treasury guidance now allows regulated crypto ETFs and ETPs to engage in proof-of-stake validation without jeopardizing their tax status—unlocking new yield opportunities tied to assets like Ethereum and Solana.
At the same time, the implementation of Form 1099-DA under Internal Revenue Code §6045 introduces the most significant digital-asset reporting regime the industry has ever seen—placing new obligations on:
- Brokers and exchanges
- Custodians and wallet providers
- Issuers and structured product sponsors
- Fintech infrastructure providers
For many firms, these two changes—staking yield plus mandatory reporting—create both opportunity and operational risk.
This webinar is designed to help you navigate both.
