Crypto tax policy — reporting rules, capital-gains treatment, staking and airdrop taxation, and country-level changes.
The industry wants rewards taxed at sale, not creation, and it is telling House tax writers the bill as written is the version worth moving.
A research-forum pitch to skim up to 10% of staking rewards for ecosystem funding lands hardest on Bitmine, whose $258M validator revenue is the single biggest exposure on Ethereum.
The levy hits every wallet move — not just sales — under SB3019, setting a precedent that, if it survives, could ripple into how other states and asset classes treat personal property.
SB3019 imposes a 2% levy on every digital-asset transaction from 2027, including self-custody wallet-to-wallet moves — a structural first among US states and a template other legislatures may copy.
The per-transaction levy lands on exchanges, wallet-to-wallet moves, and custody — a structural drag on retail activity in a state that already ranks among the larger US crypto markets.
The 0.2% Digital Asset Tax Act takes effect January 2027 and targets crypto brokers in a way no other state taxes stocks or bonds — industry lawyers say it will trigger geoblocking and capital flight.
The state sidesteps the federal capital-gains framework entirely — a per-transaction levy that hits rebalances, wallet moves, and DeFi swaps the same way it hits a profitable sale.
Pritzker signed the levy into law days after the crypto industry spent $10M backing the opposing candidate in the state's Democratic primary; with the legislature out of session, the most realistic…
Taking effect in 2027, the levy applies to every Bitcoin and crypto transaction — a structural drag critics say will push digital asset activity out of state.
The levy doesn't touch peer-to-peer transfers directly — but it taxes buying, holding, and storing digital assets alike, and a16z's Miles Jennings warns it could drive builders out of the state.

Bitcoin ETFs are paper assets that can be seized, a 70-year-old former TOPGUN graduate told Bitcoin Bram — and he's not buying Michael Saylor's confidence that governments won't confiscate BTC.
A House hearing on cryptocurrency taxation has laid bare a divide among lawmakers over how quickly Congress should move…
Ways and Means opened seven draft bills for discussion, but Democrats flagged mining-deferral abuse risks and Chairman Jason Smith's 'bipartisan' framing was met with only conditional buy-in.
U.S. House lawmakers are preparing to debate a set of crypto tax bills, marking what proponents describe as the "third…
The draft would extend wash-sale rules to digital assets and end a long-standing tax break on Bitcoin, while shielding regulated payment stablecoins from routine gain-or-loss treatment.
The package touches every major corner of the on-chain economy — mining, staking, and small transactions all get explicit treatment, signaling tax code is finally catching up to the asset class.
Drafts cover staking, mining, de minimis exemptions, and stablecoin payments — the procedural posture is the signal, with a formal hearing before markup suggesting movement rather than messaging.
