🚀 Big news: Liquifi has been acquired by @Coinbase! Four years ago, we set out to solve a simple problem: token management was broken. Today's announcement represents validation that infrastructure-first thinking can transform an entire industry. To our customers at @Uniswap, @Optimism, @ethena, @Zora, and dozens of other protocols: this is just the beginning. With Coinbase's resources behind us, we're building the institutional-grade token infrastructure the industry deserves. To our incredible team: we did it. From spreadsheets to Coinbase. What a journey. And, the next chapter is about to be written.

As you know, the Judge denied Toku's motion for relief AND made a very strong statement that your claims are unlikely to succeed. Left out from your posts are the other half of the public filings and last week’s Court ruling. docketalarm.com/cases/Delaware… docketalarm.com/cases/Delaware… Anyone who reads this (and the public hearing transcript coming out this week) will see the truth. The public deserves the full picture.

🤝We agree! But don't recommend pushing against the deadline for deferred comp. Otherwise, there's a risk that the IRS deems constructive receipt to have occurred at vesting. It's not the end of the world, but settlement really should follow vesting as soon as administratively possible. ⚡

Good post! One note, I believe, is that RTUs (similar to RSUs) generally should be settled at the latest before the short-term deferral date (usually March 15th of the year following the year in which they vest) to fit within the “short-term deferral” exception, or they could be considered nonqualified deferred compensation in violation of Section 409A, and subject to steep fines and penalties.

RTU Tax Implications: When Are Tokens Taxed in the US and Globally? Navigating the complexities of taxation for Restricted Token Unit (RTU) agreements can be challenging, especially in the evolving crypto regulations and tax landscape. At Liquifi, we've observed trends across numerous blue-chip token launches via Liquifi Launch and want to share some insights. 🔑 Insights: (1) RTUs are common for crypto employees, contractors, or founders, particularly for post-TGE, later-stage projects, and companies whose token values have appreciated. (2) The interplay between vesting and settlement is where the taxation of tokens under RTU agreements becomes tricky. (3) Tokens are bearer instruments 🐻. By default, Tokens are “bearer in nature,” meaning that, like physical paper, a person does not fully own the tokens until they are in their possession, such as in their self-custody digital wallet or a dedicated account at a centralized custodian. (4) Section 83: Under U.S. tax law, the treatment of tokens awarded under an RTU agreement generally falls under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). People often hear about the “83(b) Election” used for Restricted Token Award and Token Purchase Agreements in the US, but this section governs the taxation of property for employment purposes generally. (5) Custody & Compliance Implications. The access, control, or use definitions map nicely to the functionality of industry-standard, decentralized multi-signature wallets such as Gnosis SAFE or centralized, regulated custodians such as Anchorage, Coinbase Prime, BitGo, or Gemini.
