🧵 Discussion: #uscryptostakingtaxreview
The U.S. is once again reviewing how crypto staking rewards should be taxed — and the outcome could reshape the future of staking for millions of users.
💡 The core debate:
Should staking rewards be taxed when they’re earned (like income), or only when they’re sold (like capital gains)?
📌 Why this matters
Early taxation may force stakers to sell rewards just to pay taxes
Validators and long-term holders could face higher compliance pressure
DeFi, PoS networks, and U.S.-based innovation could be affected
⚖️ Two sides of the argument
🏛️ Pro-tax-now: Rewards are income at the time of receipt
🌱 Pro-tax-on-sale: Rewards are newly created assets, not income until sold
🌍 Bigger picture
Other countries offer clearer or more stakeholder-friendly frameworks. If the U.S. takes a strict stance, will developers and capital move elsewhere?
💬 Let’s discuss
How should staking rewards be taxed fairly?
Would stricter rules push you away from staking?
Should the U.S. align with global crypto-friendly policies?
