House Draft Proposes Exclusion of Gains on Regulated Stablecoins

A bipartisan discussion draft in the House suggests excluding gains and losses from the sale of regulated payment stablecoins, provided the holder's basis does not drop below 99% of the redemption value. According to NS3.AI, the proposal specifically targets US dollar-pegged tokens issued under the GENIUS Act framework, while excluding brokers and dealers from this carve-out. It is important to note that the draft is not yet law, and no issuer has been granted permitted payment stablecoin issuer status.
