ME News reported that on May 21 (UTC+8), U.S. bipartisan lawmakers Steven Horsford, Max Miller, Suzan DelBene, and Mike Carey jointly reintroduced the "Digital Asset Protection, Accountability, Regulation, Innovation, Taxation, and Benefits Act" (i.e., the "Equal Act") this Wednesday. The new version of the bill mainly covers the following: First, it stipulates that regulated payment stablecoins do not generate gains or losses if their cost basis is not less than 99% of the redemption value; second, it establishes a safe harbor for broker transactions or taxpayer account transactions; third, it clarifies the manner in which the "wash sale" rule applies to digital assets; fourth, it requires the IRS to assess the current tax compliance burden for small-value crypto transactions and study the feasibility and potential abuse risks of establishing a tax exemption for transactions under $200. The crypto industry has long advocated for exempting small transactions from taxation to promote the use of cryptocurrencies in everyday payments. Lawmaker Horsford stated that tax policy is the foundation of the crypto regulatory framework, and the current tax law has not yet clearly defined many core issues regarding digital assets.
