Mis on Poppin?

Yesterday morning, the House of Representatives hääletanud 220-212 in favor of barring any amendments from consideration regarding Biden’s $1T infrastructure bill. The move strikes a blow to the crypto industry, which has been attempting to pare back the reporting requirements found within the cryptocurrency provision of the bill. 

At issue is the definition of a crypto “broker.” The proposed bill is attempting to raise roughly $28B in taxes over ten years from the crypto industry by tightening reporting requirements for “brokers” and collecting taxes that might have otherwise gone unreported. If such a provision were to pass, each crypto “broker” would be responsible for filing a 1099 form on behalf of their customers and reporting any transaction over $10K to the IRS. 

For centralized exchanges, this extra reporting step is not too big of a deal. In fact, some exchanges already report 1099 to the IRS. (Coinbase began esitamine 1099 forms to the IRS back in 2017.)

However, many cryptocurrency advocates view the provision’s definition of “broker” as being too broad. Instead of defining a broker as a cryptocurrency exchange, the language is vague, hinting that many other crypto actors could be shoehorned into the definition. As is, the current language could classify miners, validators, and/or developers as “brokers,” according to Jake Chervinsky, general counsel at Compound.  With much of crypto being decentralized, pseudonymous, and automized, it would be nearly võimatu for such actors to adhere to the law. 

While it seems that an amendment for the bill is off the table, it does not appear that the crypto industry is giving up the fight, as explained by Ron Hammond, director of government relations at Blockchain Association. He wrote, “We knew the possibility of amendments was slim to none. There are going to be other legislative vehicles and opportunities to fix this issue. Will take weeks, not days.” 

Evan Greer, the director at Fight for the Future, kajastub Ron’s sentiment: “It seems really likely that there won’t be any amendments at all. But there are a lot of other ways that Congress can fix this, as part of an amendment to a future package, or even stand-alone legislation. But if that’s going to happen, WE NEED TO SIEZE [sic] THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW and use the momentum that we built in the Senate to get as many House lawmakers as possible on the record calling on House and Senate leadership to support a #DontKillCrypto fix as part of upcoming legislation.” 

This is not the first time crypto advocates have been on the wrong end of an amendment being shut down. During the infrastructure bill’s turn in the Senate earlier this month, an amendment was almost passed at the last second that would have exempted non-custodial crypto actors from the provision. However, it failed due to a single vote from Alabama Senator Richard Shelby. 

CNBC raporti kohaselt the fears of non-custodial crypto actors coming under fire due to this bill could be unfounded. An unnamed Treasury official told CNBC yesterday that the US Treasury Department will not target non-brokers, such as miners, hardware developers,  and others — even if there is no amendment. 

Crypto advocates, such as Mündikeskuse Jerry Brito, remain unconvinced. “I’m glad to hear that Treasury officials are telling reporters on background that they don’t intend to target miners if the infrastructure bill’s crypto tax provision becomes law, but I’m afraid that is little comfort,” he wrote on Twitter. “ He continued, “it’s a little strange to assure folks that you “will not target non-brokers” because by definition only “brokers” can be subjected to reporting obligations. Of course Treasury will never target non-brokers; whoever’s targeted will have been interpreted to be broker.” 

Jake Chervinksy had a similar response, albeit laced with a bit more snark: 

For now, the plan is for the House to vote on the infrastructure package by September 27th. If approved, it will go to President Joe Biden.
