In the Spotlight: Tim Scott
- On June 30, 2025, Senator Cynthia Lummis announced she would introduce a crypto tax amendment to the Senate's One Big Beautiful Bill .
- The amendment aims to stop double taxation by charging taxes on staking and mining rewards only when these assets are sold, not when they are created.
- Lummis's proposal aims to exclude small crypto transactions from tax reporting, applying to individual payments below $300 and limiting the total exempt amount to $5,000 per year to ease the tax burden on minor digital asset activities.
- The Digital Chamber called the tax fix "a long overdue mistake" repair, while advocates believe the change would reduce compliance burdens and encourage crypto adoption.
- If enacted, this amendment could align tax policy with actual economic benefits, discourage regulatory hesitancy, and foster innovation in digital assets in the U.S.
