Trust Wallet Unveils Launchpool, Plus Wallet Emerges as Top-Tier Hot Wallet Amidst Kamala Harris's Crypto Tax Proposal

As cryptocurrency increasingly captures public interest, proposed regulatory changes such as Kamala Harris's 25% tax on unrealized crypto gains are stimulating

Trust Wallet has announced the launch of a decentralized Launchpool within its wallet to enhance user involvement and community building within the blockchain. The Launchpool will provide a platform for users to stake Trust Wallet Token (TWT) and partner tokens, offering an opportunity to support emerging projects and earn rewards.

The Launchpool is set to launch on October 1, 2024, with the first project to be unveiled. Users will be able to participate in the Launchpool by staking TWT or partner tokens, and earn rewards based on their contribution to the pool. The rewards will be distributed daily, and users can withdraw their staked tokens at any time.

“The Launchpool is a crucial element in our vision to cultivate inclusive and engaged Web3 communities,” said Eowyn Chen, CEO of Trust Wallet. “We're excited to empower our users with a decentralized platform for early involvement in token projects, offering them a unique opportunity to contribute and reap the benefits.”

The Launchpool will offer a decentralized and transparent alternative to centralized token launches, which are often plagued by high entry barriers, limited participation, and potential subjectivity in project selection. By leveraging on-chain smart contracts, the Launchpool ensures the security, immutability, and verifiability of the entire process.

To further streamline the experience, users will be able to access the Launchpool directly from within the Trust Wallet app, eliminating the need for external platforms or complex integrations. This user-centric approach is designed to maximize convenience and foster widespread participation.

The introduction of the Launchpool marks a significant step in Trust Wallet's mission to empower users and foster vibrant on-chain communities. Together with its existing suite of features, including the NFT Hub, dApp Browser, and hardware wallet integration, Trust Wallet is positioned as a comprehensive and user-friendly gateway to the world of Web3.

Kamala Harris’s Tax Proposal Raises Market Stability Questions

A 25% tax on unrealized crypto gains, recently proposed by Kamala Harris, has sparked concerns over its potential to destabilize the market and lead to widespread sell-offs, especially among high-net-worth individuals.

The proposed tax would apply to the growth of assets before they are sold, a departure from the current practice of taxing only realized gains. Critics, such as Zac Townsend, caution that this shift could prompt large investors to sell off assets quickly, leading to a rapid decline in cryptocurrency values.

“The quick sell-off would inject volatility and unpredictability into the market, making it harder for smaller traders to navigate and potentially leading to substantial losses,” said Townsend.

The tax strategy aims to generate revenue by focusing on the unrealized gains of cryptocurrencies, which have experienced a surge in recent years. However, critics argue that the measure could ultimately harm the market and reduce its stability.
