Reported by Bijie Network: On-chain demand for copper tokenization is emerging. Copper product CPERr, under Solana-based Remora Markets, once approached its all-time high of $619,433, driven by a surge in trading activity in late January. Although gold and silver tokenization still dominate, copper is rapidly rising to become the third most valuable metal on the platform, with combined spot and perpetual contract trading volume exceeding $8.5 million on January 28. Products such as Ondo’s copper miner tokenized ETF COPXON also reflect widespread interest in copper, with its market capitalization quickly reaching around $3 million. This trend aligns with the structural demand for copper brought about by electrification and artificial intelligence, connecting real-world scarcity with on-chain accessibility.

According to CoinWorld, India's cryptocurrency tax regime is under scrutiny as new data shows that nearly half of investors experienced net losses in the 2025 fiscal year. However, due to regulations prohibiting loss offsets, many still have to pay taxes. A report analyzing nearly 700,000 users found that 49.09% reported net capital losses, yet these users still had to pay taxes on gains totaling 180 million rupees. The 1% withholding tax collected 511.83 million rupees, improving compliance but also locking up funds; over 30% of users paid excessive withholding tax and are due refunds. As the 2026 budget approaches, there are growing calls within the industry to reform the withholding tax rate and loss offset rules.
