House Committee Prepares Crypto Tax Legislation, Hearing as Early as Next Week
Odaily Planet Daily News The US House Ways and Means Committee is preparing legislation to establish a tax structure for cryptocurrencies, which could be released as early as Friday, followed by a hearing early next week. Committee Chairman Jason Smith has made developing a digital asset tax framework a top priority, with the Treasury Department also involved in the process.
The committee is expected to release seven bills covering topics such as when tokens obtained from mining or staking are taxed, exempting certain stablecoin transactions from capital gains tax, aligning tax treatment between digital assets and securities (including charitable donations), allowing foreign investors to trade US securities without being taxed as domestic corporations (a safe harbor), and extending wash sale rules to digital assets. (Bloomberg)
Odaily Planet Daily News Coinbase Ventures stated it has invested in Ethena by purchasing ENA tokens on the open market. Following the announcement, ENA has risen approximately 6% over the past 24 hours.
Ethena stated that the two parties will collaborate to advance on-chain finance and savings products. Coinbase also mentioned that the partnership will be strengthened, involving Circle's stablecoin USDC.
Ethena founder Guy Young indicated that Ethena's products will be integrated into Coinbase's user base of over 100 million for the first time next week to support its dollar-denominated savings products. The market is closely watching how the two parties will collaborate around USDC and Ethena's synthetic dollar USDe. This move also comes at a time when the US "Clarity Act" remains in a legislative stalemate. This bill concerns whether platforms like Coinbase can offer stablecoin holding rewards to users, while banking lobbying groups have consistently opposed similar stablecoin yield arrangements.
