a16z partner Chris Dixon: AMMs like Uniswap are a real breakthrough in financial infrastructure

a16z partner Chris Dixon's new book, "Read Write Own: Building the Next Era of the Internet," will be released on January 30th. In an interview with Fortune magazine, he stated that AMMs like Uniswap are a true breakthrough in the field of financial infrastructure. Wall Street should embrace new technologies such as AMMs and think rationally about how to integrate real-world assets. From a regulatory perspective, real-world assets are complex. Some large financial companies are working hard to solve the problem of how to put mortgage loans or stocks on the blockchain and tokenize them.

The public has 30 days to provide feedback to the IRS on this version.Starting in 2026, cryptocurrency investors who use brokers (currently mainly Coinbase and Kraken, among others) will receive 1099-DA from these brokers to report certain cryptocurrency sales and trades as taxable events to the IRS.

The item for investors to fill in wallet addresses and transaction IDs has been removed (which sparked privacy concerns when the form was first released), and it is no longer required to fill in the time of the relevant transaction, only the date.Drew Hinkes, a partner at Miami law firm K&L Gates and a cryptocurrency lawyer, said the updated form "has greatly improved, reduced the burden of reporting, and significantly reduced the required data reporting."
