The US Senate has voted to revoke a rule passed by the Biden administration that required cryptocurrency platforms to report customer transactions to the IRS.
The rule, aimed at enhancing tax compliance, would have required crypto firms to provide detailed customer information starting in the 2027 tax year.
The crypto sector argued that its platforms facilitating peer-to-peer exchanges shouldn't be classified as brokers, sparking the opposition to the rule.
Repealing the rule is estimated to result in a loss of $3.9 billion in government revenue over a decade, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.
