The U.S. House of Representatives has voted with a clear majority to reverse IRS regulations that define crypto entities and DeFi platforms as brokers.
The DeFi community strongly supports the repeal of this IRS rule due to fears of its negative impact on U.S. innovation and privacy.
The rule, which requires DeFi platforms to gather tax information like traditional brokers, could lead to U.S. companies moving overseas to avoid compliance burdens.
Industry groups challenged the IRS rule, arguing that it would stifle DeFi innovation and create an unprecedented compliance burden.
