Regulatory framing — United Kingdom

UK FCA Travel Rule £1,000 threshold. SEC v. Sun overhang + Tron USDT-TRC-20 dominance create heightened OFAC + venue-restriction screening at UK CEX outbound. Self-custody-to-self-custody outside scope. USDT-TRC-20 sends consume TRX gas — sending USDT-TRC-20 is a USDT disposal (if payment) but uses TRX as gas (NOT a TRX disposal).

Primary regulators: FCA · HMRC

Step-by-step

Verify destination T-prefix. 34 chars base58.
Ensure wallet has TRX gas buffer. 20-30 TRX even for USDT-TRC-20 sends.
Decide pay-per-tx vs freeze for bandwidth. Power users freeze.
Test-send for large. $5-$20 test.
Confirm finality. 19-20 confirmations (~1 min); tronscan.org.
Record for tax if disposal. Payment: CGT disposal at GBP FMV.

Tax summary

Sending TRX between own wallets is NOT a CGT disposal. Payment for goods/services IS CGT disposal. Spousal exempt. Travel Rule £1,000. USDT-TRC-20 sends are USDT disposals (TRX as gas, not disposal). See HMRC Cryptoassets Manual.
