Blockchain Association urges Congress to pass crypto tax legislation
The Blockchain Association sent a letter to Senate and House leaders asking Congress to pass bipartisan digital asset tax legislation, Bitcoin Magazine reported, citing the group's first broad tax push since the Clarity Act failed in the Senate last month. Chief Policy Officer Lindsay Fraser signed the letter, which argues the rules for the 67 million Americans holding digital assets were written for a different era, and the group launched TaxClarityforAmerica.com.
Only one publisher so far. Another independent outlet or an official source would raise it.

Claims and open questions
What sources claim
- The Blockchain Association asked congressional leaders to pass bipartisan crypto tax legislation, citing rules it said govern the 67 million Americans who hold digital assets, according to Bitcoin Magazine.
- The letter, signed by Chief Policy Officer Lindsay Fraser, seeks a de minimis exemption for small transactions, cash treatment for stablecoins, taxation of mining and staking rewards at sale rather than receipt, and broker reporting limited to firms holding customer assets, Bitcoin Magazine reported.
- The Ways and Means Committee approved the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, H.R. 10357, a 114-page package that exempts network fees under $10 from capital gains reporting, while a mining and staking deferral bill, H.R. 9175, was dropped from the released text, per Bitcoin Magazine.
Still unresolved
- Will the Blockchain Association endorse either the House package or the Senate's ADAPT Act, given the letter named neither bill?
- Will mining and staking reward deferral be restored in any later version of the House bill or in Senate legislation?
