Crypto regulation news: Crypto’s second U.S. lobbying front — tax policy — sees industry push on mining, staking. This update explains what changed, why it matters for the crypto market, and what investors, exchanges, and blockchain companies should watch next.
Crypto Regulation Update
While the top focus of the industry remains the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act that would establish a full U.S. regulatory regime for crypto activity, its second priority has been on crypto taxation, which was the central thrust of a June 9 committee hearing discussing several bills, including the legislation from Carey, an Ohio Republican.Democrats on the committee revealed some concerns about how this bill would be utilized by the industry in practice, and outside critics such as the Revolving Door Project argued that crypto mining firms — including American Bitcoin, in which President Donald Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr. have a significant stake — could defer taxes indefinitely while still getting a financial benefit from their holdings. The industry letter countered that the bill “does not provide unlimited deferral or full parity with all forms of self-created property; instead, it ensures income is recognized while avoiding immediate taxation before taxpayers can monetize the asset.”Crypto tax policy has been approached by a number of legislative efforts over the years. The latest House bills remain at a fairly early stage of the process, while the current congressional session is facing its final months, so it’s uncertain what their viability is at this stage.
