The Passive Pathway

Crypto Crackdowns & Couch Money: What You Need to Know in 2025

Nelson Aka: Nelly Season 1 Episode 4

In this eye-opening episode of The Passive Pathway, we dive deep into the fast-changing global landscape of crypto regulations—and how these new laws are quietly creeping into your passive income dreams. Whether you're mining from your man cave, staking from your sofa, or earning sweet DeFi yield while bingeing box sets, there’s a world of compliance (and chaos) heading your way in 2025. 

Will also be unpacking the recent wave of crypto regulations sweeping the globe—from the IRS’s watchful eye to the EU’s fine print—and how they could affect your comfy little passive income streams. Don't worry, this won’t feel like a court summons—we’re keeping it light, fun, and just paranoid enough to check your crypto wallet twice. 🧐💸 

Join your host for a no-fluff, full-flavor breakdown of what’s happening behind the scenes in governments, tax agencies, and financial watchdogs—and how it all affects your couch money. We unpack what recent international policies, such as the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and the expanding FATF guidelines, really mean for your digital dollar hustle. 

Expect plenty of laughs, a few sighs, and—of course—some solid practical tips to keep your crypto income flowing safely and legally, no matter where you are. 

We’re slicing through the jargon, dodging the drama, and giving you the blueprint to stay one step ahead of the game. Think of it as your survival guide to staying passive… without getting aggressively fined. 

✅ Who needs to report what
✅ How KYC and wallets are evolving
✅ The rise of “regulation-by-automation”
✅ Why passive income isn’t so passive anymore in some countries
✅ And what you can still do safely and wisely in 2025 

So grab your headphones, your favorite drink, and maybe even your accountant—because Episode 4 is here to keep your digital nest egg safe, sovereign, and sleep-friendly. 

🎧 Listen now and stay passively powerful.
