Blockchain Association Warns IRS That Proposed Tax Rule Change Could Crush U.S. DeFi Industry

The Blockchain Association issues a scathing 33-page comment to the U.S. Treasury and IRS, cautioning that a proposed redefinition of the word "broker" in a federal tax rule could severely impact or force offshore any decentralized finance (DeFi) project in the United States. The proposed change broadens the term "broker" to include any centralized crypto exchange or DeFi project facilitating the transfer of digital assets, subjecting them to the same reporting rules as traditional financial brokers. The Blockchain Association argues that applying this standard to DeFi projects is impractical, could lead to privacy issues, and may drive U.S.-based DeFi projects abroad.
