The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee has advanced a resolution to repeal the DeFi broker rule, a regulation requiring decentralized exchanges to report transaction details to the IRS.
Critics argue the regulation is impractical, as decentralized finance platforms do not collect the user data necessary for compliance.
The repeal effort gained momentum among lawmakers seeking to promote a crypto-friendly regulatory environment, as enforcing the regulation could push crypto businesses away from the U.S.
The push for repeal reflects a broader shift in U.S. crypto policy under the Republican-controlled Congress and the expectation of reduced regulatory restrictions.
