The language regarding the bipartisan infrastructure bill that intends to bring in $28B in crypto taxes is still under review, according to Jerry Brito, executive director of Coin Center.

Brito reports that the original wording of the bill has been megváltozott. He says that it is “better than where it started,” although he is still concerned about miners being shoehorned into the deal. The language, he said, is “still not good enough to clearly exclude miners and similarly situated persons” from being designated as a broker.

Brito also noted that while the phrasing was changed, it has not been finalized, tweeting:

Relatedly, in a csipog from early Sunday afternoon, Senator Ron Wyden criticized an earlier draft of the crypto provision from the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

Wyden started by acknowledging that crypto taxation in the US is an issue, saying, “Americans avoiding paying the taxes they owe through cryptocurrency is a real problem that deserves a real solution.”

However, he argues that the bill, as written, attempts to squeeze money out of the cryptocurrency industry without understanding the underlying technology they are legislating.

“The Republican provision in the bipartisan infrastructure framework isn’t close to being that solution. It’s an attempt to apply brick and mortar rules to the internet and fails to understand how the technology works,” said Wyden.

Wyden and Brito are far from the only ones concerned about the bill (and the possible KYC ramifications for a wide array of crypto participants).

To recap…

News broke last Thursday that tucked inside the $550B infrastructure bill was a provision looking to raise $28B from the crypto industry by expanding the definition of a broker.

Kristin Smith, a Blockchain Association ügyvezető igazgatója, mondta CoinDesk, “We interpret this to mean software wallet developers, hardware wallet manufacturers, multisig service providers, liquidity providers, DAO token holders and potentially even miners,” would have to begin reporting their transactions.

Jake Chervinsky, general counsel at Compound Labs, egyetért with Smith. In his opinion, such a mandate defies logic, citing various reasons, including:

1. It would be nearly impossible for miners to collect KYC data from pseudonymous users using DeFi protocols.
2. For every dollar gained in tax revenue, multiples will be lost as US crypto participants move offshore or underground.
3. The fourth amendment may offer protection from heightened government surveillance without a warrant.

Coin Center’s Neeraj K. Agrawal also chimed in on the bill, mirroring many of Chervinsky’s points:

Once the wording is cemented, multiple Senators professed hope to get the bill passed, with support, by the end of the week, as jelentett a CNN által.
