Ten percent of Hill aides polled by Punchbowl News expect a digital-asset tax bill to pass before Dec. 31, 2026. Crypto firms and investors face year-end and 2027 under current rules while the House bill's $10 fee exemption and wash-sale extension wait on a crowded lame-duck Senate.
Reality
Sen. Steve Daines's 13-section draft would stop taxing near-$1 stablecoin payments and network fees of $10 or less, while extending wash-sale rules to crypto. The relief goes to people who spend stablecoins, and the cost falls on trading desks that sell at a loss and buy straight back.
Reality
A House committee has voted to let gamblers deduct all of their losses again, retroactive to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, so the cap written into July's tax law would never touch a filed return.
Reality
H.R. 9175 would move the tax on mining and staking rewards from the day they arrive to the day they are sold. Cryptobriefing.com reports the committee may cut that provision to bring a Democrat along before the September 16 markup.
Reality
The September 16 markup pairs that revenue estimate with H.R. 9175, a bill letting miners and stakers wait until they sell before recognising income on newly created tokens. Bloomberg reported the schedule.
Reality
The term on the table is 20% of all labor costs, actors included, layered on top of state incentives the way Canada's is, which moves the margin against foreign shoots without changing which American state gets the work.
