🚀 Proposed Unrealized Capital Gains Tax Could Harm Cryptocurrency Investors
#UnrealizedCapitalGainsTax #CryptocurrencyInvestors #TaxProposal #ZacTownsend #CapitalGainsTax #CryptocurrencyMarket #FinancialImpact #StoreOfValue #EconomicConsequences #InvestorConcerns
According to BlockBeats, on October 3, Among Us CEO and co-founder Zac Townsend expressed concerns that the proposed unrealized capital gains tax by Harris would negatively impact cryptocurrency investors.
The core of the unrealized capital gains tax proposal is to require individuals to pay taxes on the appreciation of their cryptocurrency holdings, even if they have not sold any assets. Townsend highlighted that this approach is fundamentally different from traditional tax principles, which only apply to gains realized upon the sale of assets.
Townsend warned that this plan could have devastating consequences for cryptocurrency investors and the broader economy. It could undermine the intrinsic value of cryptocurrencies as a store of value not controlled by any single government. The tax could incentivize large investors to sell off assets to pay the tax, leading to a decrease in cryptocurrency prices and affecting the returns of everyday investors, including those who have invested small amounts in hopes of improving their financial situation.#UnrealizedCapitalGainsTax #CryptocurrencyInvestors #TaxProposal #ZacTownsend #CapitalGainsTax #CryptocurrencyMarket #FinancialImpact #StoreOfValue #EconomicConsequences #InvestorConcerns
🚀 Terra Luna Classic Community Approves New Tax Proposal To Simplify Blockchain Tax System
#TerraLunaClassic #taxproposal #blockchain #ReverseCharge #DApp #taxsystem #communityvote #developers #endusers
According to Odaily, the Terra Luna Classic community has voted to approve a new tax proposal aimed at simplifying the tax system on the Terra Classic blockchain. This 'Reverse Charge' mechanism changes the way taxes are deducted in transactions, making it easier for developers and users to utilize the system.
The new mechanism will deduct taxes directly from the transaction amount before it is credited to the recipient's wallet. This change eliminates the need for the sender to pay additional taxes, providing convenience for both developers and end-users. In this system, taxes are deducted directly from the transfer amount, so DApp and interface developers do not need to manage complex tax processes.
The new tax system also supports backward compatibility, allowing DApps to continue using the sender-based tax handling as needed.#TerraLunaClassic #taxproposal #blockchain #ReverseCharge #DApp #taxsystem #communityvote #developers #endusers
🚀 White House Rejects Cryptocurrency Transaction Tax Proposal
#WhiteHouse #Cryptocurrency #TaxProposal #Bitcoin #DigitalAssets #CryptoInvestors #Tariffs #FederalTaxReform #IRS #ExternalRevenueService
According to Cointelegraph, White House crypto and AI czar David Sacks has dismissed the notion of imposing taxes on each cryptocurrency transaction as a means to bolster the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital asset stockpile. During a recent appearance on the All In podcast, host Jason Calacanis suggested a 0.01% tax on every cryptocurrency transaction, which would be denominated in the asset being transferred, bought, or sold. Sacks responded by expressing skepticism, noting that taxes often start modestly but can expand over time. He referenced the history of income tax in the United States, which initially applied to a small number of Americans but eventually broadened its reach. Sacks expressed concerns about the potential burden of new taxes, even if they are initially promised to have minimal impact. The proposal faced criticism from crypto investors, particularly due to the inclusion of taxes on transfers between wallets owned by the same individual.
The recent White House Crypto Summit did not address specific tax policies, although the Trump administration has indicated support for comprehensive federal tax reform. U.S. President Donald Trump has previously proposed eliminating the federal income tax, suggesting that revenue could instead be generated through tariffs on imported goods. Trump pointed to the 19th century, when the U.S. government was funded solely by tariffs, as a period of significant prosperity. Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Commerce Secretary, echoed this proposal, suggesting the replacement of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with an 'External Revenue Service.' Research from accounting automation company Dancing Numbers indicates that the Trump administration's plan could potentially save each American taxpayer at least $134,809, with lifetime savings reaching up to $325,561 if state-income taxes are also repealed.#WhiteHouse #Cryptocurrency #TaxProposal #Bitcoin #DigitalAssets #CryptoInvestors #Tariffs #FederalTaxReform #IRS #ExternalRevenueService

The deadline for public comments on the proposal is May 5. If approved by parliament, the tax is expected to take effect on January 1, 2026.#Slovenia #CryptoTax #TaxProposal #CryptoAssets #Finance #PublicFeedback #InvestmentTax #TaxPolicy #2026
🚀 U.S. Congress Faces Tight Deadlines on Key Legislative Proposals

According to BlockBeats, as the U.S. Congress reconvenes, senators face a challenging task to meet deadlines set by U.S. President Donald Trump. The first deadline involves Trump's significant tax and budget proposal, known as the 'Beautiful Act.' This updated version narrowly passed the House of Representatives last month with a vote of 215 to 214.
The bill has now moved to the Senate, where it is expected to encounter similar resistance from some Republican dissenters. Republican leaders aim to have the bill, ideally in a form close to its current version, ready for the President's signature by July 4.
Following this, senators must work on passing the 'GENIUS Act,' which Trump hopes will be approved by the end of summer. A source familiar with the matter indicated that the President's growing interest in cryptocurrency businesses presents a bipartisan challenge for both Republicans and Democrats.#Congress #Legislation #TaxProposal #BudgetProposal #BeautifulAct #GENIUSAct #DonaldTrump #Cryptocurrency #Bipartisan
