☄️3-2-1: UPB Workshop, Prague and Vienna, Crypto Tax Deadline

Happy Thursday, COMETS!

This is the newsletter of Central and Eastern Europe's largest blockchain builders community and goes to 6,000+ builders across the region and beyond.

3 News From Us

1. Our UPB Workshop Is Now Open to Everyone!

We are officially opening the doors of our Intro to Blockchain Workshop at Facultatea de Automatica si Calculatoare, UPB, this weekend in Bucharest to the wider community.

Across 3 sessions we will cover everything from blockchain foundations to DeFi, crypto fundamentals with Binance Academy, and an introduction to crypto taxation in Romania with our COMETS experts. If you have been waiting for the right moment to get into blockchain, this is it.

💠Group 1 - 25th April 2026, 9:00-13:00​

💠Group 2 - 25th April 2026, 14:00-18:00​

💠Group 3 - 26th April 2026, 9:00-13:00​

2. 25th May Is the Legal Deadline for the Single Tax Declaration in Romania

If you traded crypto, staked, or received airdrops in 2025, you have a tax obligation. Postponing it does not simplify the process; it only increases the risk of mistakes under time pressure.

We built the "From Crypto to ANAF" course to eliminate that uncertainty. 13 complete chapters, step-by-step video guidance verified by accounting experts, and personalised consulting available for your specific situation. Do not leave it to the last moment.

1 Idea From Others

​@profadecrypto on crypto taxation in Romania:

“Law 239/2025 closed the grey area. From 1 January 2026, the framework is clear: 16% on net gain, calculated transaction by transaction. The moment of the swap matters, not the withdrawal. Swapping $BTC for $ETH is a taxable event even if nothing reaches your bank account. Losses cannot be offset or carried forward. [...]”
