IRS Revises Form W-9 to Strengthen Digital Asset Compliance Requirements
ChainCatcher News, according to market sources, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released a draft of the 2026 Form W-9, adding new digital asset compliance provisions. The draft requires U.S. brokers to collect and verify clients' Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN) in transactions involving cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other digital assets, in order to strengthen tax reporting.
The draft also clarifies specific guidelines for sole proprietors and disregarded entities when filling in tax identification numbers, aiming to reduce the risk of backup withholding due to incorrect TINs. The new regulations will take effect in January 2026. Enterprises need to update their compliance procedures, and individuals and businesses should ensure the accuracy of their TIN information.

Crude oil is "coming back", but refined oil is "not coming back"; the global refining gap is widening.
According to Goldman Sachs, global refined oil exports have declined by about 6 million barrels per day year-on-year, with the Gulf region and Russia contributing three-quarters of the decrease. Unlike crude oil, which can be rerouted, damaged refineries cannot be relocated, and the Gulf region's refined oil exports have only recovered to 40% of pre-war levels. Goldman Sachs expects global refinery utilization rates to recover only by the second half of 2027; based on this, it has more than doubled its forecast for diesel profit margins in 2027.
