The Ethereum NFT marketplace Foundation has officially announced its permanent closure. Founder Kayvon Tehranian posted on X stating that the original plan was to sell the platform to a buyer interested in continuing operations, but the deal ultimately fell through, and the company deemed it not worth searching for other buyers. The platform's infrastructure has been shut down, with no plans for relaunch.In January of this year, Tehranian transferred ownership of Foundation to the digital art display company BlackDove, at the time calling this move a step for the platform's long-term development. However, BlackDove only conducted a full due diligence after completing the operational handover and ultimately determined that building a proprietary marketplace was more feasible, leading to the termination of the collaboration.Since its launch, Foundation has facilitated approximately $230 million in primary sales and has hosted iconic auctions featuring artists such as Jen Stark, James Jean, and Edward Snowden. This closure has once again raised questions about the permanence of NFTs hosted on centralized infrastructure.

According to a report by Bloomberg, a recent study shows that many cryptocurrency investors in the United States may not have reported their digital asset holdings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Tyler Menzer, an assistant professor at Texas Christian University, and his co-authors found that between 2013 and 2021, only 6.5% of taxpayers reported cryptocurrency sales, while surveys during the same period indicated that 12% to 21% of American adults had held cryptocurrency. The analysis suggests that some investors failed to accurately report income and transactions related to cryptocurrency, potentially leading to tax revenue loss.The study found that cryptocurrency holders are more likely to hold meme tokens, are younger, and have lower incomes, with trading behaviors significantly differing from traditional stock investors. CoinTracker data shows that for the 2025 tax year, cryptocurrency investors are required to report an average of 836 transactions, with average short-term losses of $636 and average long-term gains of $2,692.
