Buy Avalanche
in the UK

Avalanche is an open-source platform for building custom and interactive blockchains, decentralized applications and smart assets. According to the platform's claim, in addition to high speed, strong security and significant scalability, Avalanche offers other features that can distinguish this network from other decentralized platforms. Among these features, we can mention the creation and management of custom blockchains, the possibility of specifying a set of specific validators, as well as the storage and trading of digital smart assets.

Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Avalanche introduces new paradigms to the blockchain world. Unlike other blockchain networks that only have one blockchain and one set of validators, Avalanche is a heterogeneous network of many blockchains and different sets of validators. Just as Ethereum allows people to create decentralized applications defined by a smart contract, Avalanche allows people to run decentralized applications defined by a virtual machine. But unlike Ethereum, in Avalanche, each decentralized application runs on its own independent blockchain, and each blockchain is checked and validated by a subnet; A subnet is a dynamic, customized set of validators. Using this feature, private blockchains can be created.

Avalanche is not only a platform for creating custom decentralized applications, but also supports the creation and trading of smart digital assets on its platform. This means that anyone can create their own token for their blockchain. In this network, an asset can have a complex and customized set of rules that define its properties (for example, a token that cannot be traded until next year). This feature allows users to achieve their desired efficiency and performance and continue working within the framework of the rules.

AVAX is the symbol by which the token used in the Avalanche blockchain network is traded in the cryptocurrency market. This symbol is universally accepted as the sign for Avalanche cryptocurrency. Any information regarding Avalanche trading can be found and done by searching the AVAX symbol on different exchange platforms.

Yes. According to the definition of crypto assets provided by FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), crypto assets are cryptographically secured digital representations of value or contractual rights that use some type of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and can be transferred, stored or traded electronically. According to the consumers’ investment definition by FCA, buying, selling, investing and making payments through cryptocurrency is legal in the UK. But remember to check before you make a purchase, receive a payment or pay using crypto assets if the deployed crypto assets or services are regulated in the UK. An extensive report on UK’s crypto assets regulations is issued by the HM Treasury, Financial Conduct Authority and the Bank of England.

Yes. According to the tax authority of the U.K. government (HMRC) Crypto Assets Manual, cryptocurrency is taxable in the UK. HMRC are clear that crypto may be subject to both Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax depending on the specific transaction. According to the above-mentioned manual, if you’ve sold your crypto for more than you bought it, you’ll likely pay capital gains tax on the profit. For capital gains from crypto tax-free allowance, you'll pay 10% or 20% tax. If you’re trading huge amounts of crypto, HMRC will think you are a trader and ask you to pay income tax on trading, rather than capital gains taxes. For additional income from crypto over the personal allowance, you'll pay between 20% to 45% in tax. The exact amount you'll pay will depend on the transaction you've made, the tax that applies and the Income Tax band you fall into. See UK’s Crypto Assets Manual for Individuals for more information.

On the network, AVAX is employed for staking, on-chain governance, and transaction fees. AVAX is also necessary to establish or join a subnet. A validator must stake at least 2,000 AVAX in Avalanche. Delegators can choose to stake with an existing validator by committing a minimum of 25 AVAX if they want to take part in staking. To make AVAX scarcer, all processing fees on Avalanche are burned. In conclusion, AVAX can be used to participate in the governance of the Avalanche ecosystem or it can be used as an investment. You can choose to buy and hold it or sell and trade it for other cryptocurrencies. The choice of what you would do with your Avalanche investment is in your hands.
