Senator Cynthia Lummis is proposing a significant crypto tax measure to reshape how the US taxes cryptocurrency.
The amendment aims to end 'double taxation' on staking/mining rewards by taxing them only when sold and waiving taxes on small transactions below $300.
Lummis's provision would treat assets gained from staking, mining, airdrops, and network forks similarly, taxing them only upon sale.
The fate of the proposed crypto tax amendment and the broader budget bill remains uncertain as lawmakers navigate political and fiscal challenges.
