Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz expressed concerns on the X platform about the potential failure of the crypto market structure bill. According to ChainCatcher, the disagreement over stablecoin yields is a key factor, highlighting U.S. politics overshadowing effective policy-making. Banks are reportedly opposed to crypto platforms offering rewards to users, fearing the current situation if the bill is rejected. Novogratz suggests that if the market structure bill is disrupted, banks and their supporting Republican and Democratic senators will be responsible, with American consumers being the biggest losers. He hopes rational thinking will prevail.
Novogratz also noted that gold prices indicate the U.S. dollar is rapidly losing its status as a reserve currency, and the sell-off of long-term bonds is not a positive sign. Bitcoin's performance has been disappointing due to ongoing sell-offs, and its price needs to break through $100,000 to $103,000 to confirm a return to an upward trend.#CryptoMarket #MarketCollapse #MikeNovogratz #StablecoinYields #USPolitics #CryptoPolicy #Bitcoin #GoldPrices #USDollar #ReserveCurrency #BankOpposition #LongTermBonds #BitcoinSellOff #PricePrediction #CryptoBill #BTC

🚀 U.S. Crypto Lobby Group Advocates for Tax Reforms in Congress

A U.S. crypto lobby group has presented its tax policy positions to Congress, aiming to influence how cryptocurrency should be taxed. According to Cointelegraph, the Blockchain Association has engaged with House lawmakers who are working on a crypto tax bill, seeking to shape one of the industry's key policy priorities.
The Blockchain Association released its crypto tax policy positions on Tuesday, advocating for stablecoins to be treated as cash for regular purchases and proposing a de minimis tax exemption for low-value crypto transactions. The group argued that tax reporting for minor gains or losses from routine transactions imposes excessive costs on individuals and burdens tax administration without generating significant revenue.
Additionally, the lobby supports applying wash sale rules to digital assets, allowing investors to claim losses on sales even if they repurchase the same cryptocurrency. These efforts by the Blockchain Association come amid ongoing debates among lawmakers regarding the taxation of cryptocurrencies.
Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced a bill in July to exempt certain crypto transactions from taxes, which faced opposition from Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren. The Blockchain Association emphasized that tax reporting for digital assets should protect taxpayer privacy while ensuring effective enforcement against illicit crypto activities. It also suggested that mining or staking activities should be subject to capital gains tax.
Earlier this month, the organization met with White House officials to promote market structure legislation that includes favorable provisions for stablecoin rewards. Warren has expressed strong opposition to the proposed crypto tax laws, particularly the de minimis exception proposal, which she argued would cost the U.S. $5.8 billion. She criticized a proposal allowing crypto investors to avoid reporting income from transactions under $300, questioning whether similar exemptions would apply to other assets like gold or Apple stock.#Crypto #Blockchain #TaxReform #Stablecoins #CryptocurrencyTax #Lobbying #DigitalAssets #TaxExemption #DeMinimis #WashSaleRules #CryptoLegislation #CynthiaLummis #ElizabethWarren #CryptoPolicy #CapitalGainsTax #CryptoLobby #WhiteHouse

🚀 Coin Center: If CLARITY Act Fails to Pass, US Government May Strengthen Crypto Regulation in the Future
#CLARITYAct #CryptoRegulation #USGovernment #Blockchain #DigitalAssets #CryptoLegislation #RegulatoryUncertainty #Stablecoins #SEC #CryptoIndustry #Enforcement #CryptoPolicy
According to Peter Van Valkenburgh, Executive Director of Coin Center, if the crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, fails to pass, a future US government that is unfriendly to the industry may once again strengthen regulation of the crypto sector. If legislation concerning developer protections within the CLARITY Act and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act is rejected, prioritizing short-term commercial interests and the current regulatory environment could potentially place the industry in an unfavorable position.As reported by Cointelegraph, Peter Van Valkenburgh stated that the purpose of passing the CLARITY Act is to legally bind future governments, rather than relying on the stance of the current administration. In the absence of such legal protections, the crypto industry could be impacted by enforcement discretion, policy changes, and uncertainty. He disclosed that the CLARITY Act has been stalled in the Senate due to disagreements among banks, crypto businesses, and lawmakers over key provisions, including whether to allow stablecoin yields. The bill covers a registration framework for crypto intermediaries, digital asset regulation, and token classification, among other things.Furthermore, in the absence of legislative clarity, a future administration's Department of Justice might intensify enforcement against privacy tool developers, treating them as unregistered money transmitters. Concurrently, existing interpretive regulatory guidance could also be rescinded. Former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler was previously criticized by the industry for advancing policy through enforcement actions and settlements with crypto firms, rather than through formal rulemaking. Since his departure on January 20, 2025, the SEC has dismissed several long-standing enforcement cases against crypto companies and issued more lenient regulatory guidance.#CLARITYAct #CryptoRegulation #USGovernment #Blockchain #DigitalAssets #CryptoLegislation #RegulatoryUncertainty #Stablecoins #SEC #CryptoIndustry #Enforcement #CryptoPolicy
