Sen. Steve Daines introduced a crypto tax bill that would exempt some small stablecoin purchases and extend wash-sale rules to digital assets. A House bill has advanced from committee, but the article says current law remains in effect until Congress passes legislation.
Daines introduced a 56-page Senate bill proposing a tax exemption for small stablecoin purchases and a rule preventing holders from selling cryptocurrency at a loss and immediately buying it back. Tim Scott, Cynthia Lummis and Bernie Moreno are described as backing the bill. The Senate proposal's exemption limit had not been reported.

7 OUTLETSOutlets agree Senator Steve Daines presented a proposal to overhaul federal tax rules for digital assets. The legislation would exempt certain small stablecoin transactions from capital gains taxes while extending wash-sale restrictions to cryptocurrency trades. Center outlets focus on how the measure provides tax relief for everyday transactions while closing tax loopholes, though Politico highlights the bill's uncertain prospects due to an absence of Democratic co-sponsors.
