US House tax committee to review crypto tax bills

  • Bill H.R.9175 would allow deferring tax on mined and staking tokens until they are sold
  • The deferral is limited to 5 years, and income would be treated as ordinary income, not capital gains
  • H.R.9172 would extend the wash sale rule to crypto, closing the loss loophole
  • Mining, staking, and US dollar stablecoins would not be covered by the new rules
Why it matters: The changes will determine the tax burden for miners and stakers in the US and could affect their market activity.
