US Lawmakers Propose Crypto Tax Bill Exempting Small Stablecoin Transactions

US Representatives Max Miller and Steven Horsford have released a discussion draft for a new crypto tax bill. According to NS3.AI, the proposed legislation aims to exempt stablecoin transactions under $200 from tax and reporting obligations. The draft specifies that stablecoins would not incur gains if their cost basis remains within 1% of $1, or $0.01. Although the proposal has yet to be introduced to Congress, it has faced criticism from some Bitcoin advocates for not including a similar exemption for Bitcoin transactions.
