🔥 Crypto Tax Bill Clears House Committee After Clarity Act Setback.
Capitol building in Washington, D.C. The committee announced the markup on Monday, scheduling the session for lawmakers to review H.R. 10357, consider amendments and vote on whether to send it to the full House. This wasnt built overnight, committee Chairman Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) said in a statement, crediting more than a year of bipartisan work.
The legislation before us today is the product of that work, bringing clarity, parity, and workability to digital asset taxation and helping keep the United States the crypto capital of the world, instead of pushing that innovation, and the jobs that come with it, offshore, Smith said. For crypto users, the proposal would remove gain-or-loss calculations on qualifying network or transaction fees of $10 or less. Paying those fees with tokens can trigger tax accounting because digital assets are treated as property. The relief would begin in 2028 and apply to eligible fee payments, not small crypto purchases generally. The bill would simplify tax calculations for qualifying dollar stablecoins traded near their redemption value, classify mining and staking rewards as ordinary income, and allow certain investment trusts to stake assets without losing their tax status solely for doing so.
