The Bitcoin advocacy group recently submitted recommendations to the U.S. Congress Joint Committee on Taxation, hoping to expand the scope of the de minimis tax exemption policy. Currently, this benefit mainly targets stablecoins, and they argue that the same policy treatment should be extended to Bitcoin and other mainstream public chain tokens.



The recommendation specifically highlights a practical issue: even though the GENIUS Act provides certain tax advantages for qualifying stablecoins, this is far from enough to address the compliance challenges faced by crypto payments. Relying solely on favorable policies for stablecoins cannot truly promote the standardized development of the entire crypto payment ecosystem.

The advocacy organization proposed two core suggestions in their letter: first, that payment stablecoins which pass compliance reviews should be granted tax treatment similar to fiat currency; second, that mainstream tokens with a market cap of no less than 25 billion should also be included in a similar tax exemption framework.

The logic behind this is clear—only by ensuring that mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum enjoy reasonable tax treatment can we truly incentivize individuals and businesses to use cryptocurrencies for daily payments, thereby promoting the development of Web3 payment infrastructure.

Coming back to tax incentives? Honestly, it's still about wanting to legitimize crypto payments, but I think the folks in the US Congress just don't listen haha. No matter how you put it nicely, it doesn't change the current situation. They can't even handle stablecoins, let alone BTC. The logic isn't wrong, but the problem is that politicians don't care about the crypto payment ecosystem; they just want to cut the leeks. A 25 billion market cap threshold? It feels like they're opening a backdoor for Ethereum and Bitcoin, and other coins are going to be left out in the cold. Forget it, even if taxes are waived, how many people would really use crypto for payments? They still have to convert to fiat currency. This proposal again feels like it's negotiating terms with regulators. Can it really pass? I don't believe it.

Another story about taxing the leek farmers, a 25 billion market cap threshold is really not low After all the fuss, it's still about wanting Congress to give big coins a backdoor, I don't care much about that I believe in tax exemption for stablecoins, but BTC also benefits? Dream on The problem is, even if taxes are waived, who would still use crypto to pay? First, security issues need to be addressed, alright These advocates only know about taxes, what about user experience? If you really want to promote the payment ecosystem, first make transactions less expensive, brother

Trying to get free benefits again? Sounds good, but the key is whether Congress will actually buy into it.

You're once again pushing the tax policy agenda. To put it nicely, it's really just about getting the Americans to accept crypto payments.

Chasing tax incentives again? Honestly, these people are constantly lobbying Congress, but as for the results... just wait and see, policies never get implemented that quickly.

It's the same old story again, why should stablecoins be the first to take the plunge? BTC and ETH are the true future of payments.
