Biden’s infrastructure bill gives the US Treasury control of the crypto economy.
The law, which is projected to affect practically every aspect of American infrastructure, will have a big impact on the cryptocurrency business. The infrastructure introduced new definitions for ‘broker’ among bitcoin network members as part of its revenue-raising features.
The law is primarily intended to provide the IRS with “well-defined” standards, but it also risks requiring network participants to serve as node operators in order to submit identifying information for crypto transactions that they have no way of acquiring.
Justin Banon, co-founder of the decentralized commerce protocol Boson Protocol, emphasized the importance of “sensible regulation for technology in order to protect consumers and users.”
Banon contends that the law must be clever and informed by individuals who understand the challenges, possibilities, and economic ramifications that the technologies themselves provide. He added
“In a global economy, regulating through fear and ignorance rather than regulating with understanding will simply drive the next wave of web innovation away from the US to other jurisdictions that are implementing smart and informed regulation,”
Dr Amber Ghaddar, co-founder of AllianceBlock, stated that crypto was a new business with a different infrastructure than traditional banking, and that applying the “letter of antiquated laws” and regulations to a new industry demonstrated the government’s lack of understanding.
Nonetheless, she emphasized that this was largely “our responsibility for not ironically’centralising’ our efforts to not just lobby but also explain to important stakeholders how our procedures function.”
The passing of the infrastructure package might be problematic for small investors.
If a DeFi or self custody user transfers a particular amount from their wallet to the exchange, the exchange will view the dollar amount transmitted as a sale, but it does not know how much the customer bought for the tokens in the first place.
The user may subsequently get an exaggerated 1099-B, necessitating the hiring of an accountant or manual reconciliation.
In addition, a clause in the measure broadens a component of the US tax code, which might have serious ramifications for privacy. This provision requires corporations and individuals who receive more than $10,000 in cash or cash equivalents to submit a report with the IRS, authenticate the sender’s identification, and disclose their social security number.
“This could have a detrimental consequence on adoption as noncompliance with this is considered a felony,” Dr. Ghaddar warned.
