Trump Approves Legislation Preventing Taxes on Cryptocurrencies
In a significant move reflecting his ongoing support for the digital currency sector, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved new legislation that prevents the implementation of a regulation issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) aimed at imposing tax obligations on cryptocurrency brokers.
The details of the decision stem from a regulation passed during the final days of former President Joe Biden's term, which required certain platforms, including decentralized trading platforms, to provide detailed information about digital transactions to the IRS. This triggered a wave of objections within the cryptocurrency community, as this move was seen as an obstacle to innovation and contrary to the spirit of decentralization that underpins this technology.
Under the Congressional Review Act, lawmakers have the authority to annul any federal regulation within 60 days of its issuance, which Trump relied on to reject the regulation and issue this new legislation that protects digital currency brokers from those tax obligations.
This decision represents an important victory for the cryptocurrency industry in the United States and fosters a more supportive and flexible legislative environment for technological innovation, especially with Trump preparing to adopt a more open policy towards the digital economy during his new presidential term.
