Critics from the crypto sector argued the policy was unworkable. DeFi platforms operate without intermediaries and have no access to user identities, making compliance with such rules technically impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers responded quickly. Both chambers of Congress voted earlier this year to scrap the rule through the Congressional Review Act, which allows simple-majority rollbacks of recent federal regulations. Trump\u2019s signature now seals the repeal into law.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/michael-saylor-doubles-down-on-bitcoin-advocacy-with-new-call-to-buy-the-future\/\" title=\"Michael Saylor Doubles Down on Bitcoin Advocacy with New Call to \u201cBuy the Future\u201d\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/bitcoin-is-the-most-dominant-digital-property-network-michael-saylor-240x170.png\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Michael Saylor Doubles Down on Bitcoin Advocacy with New Call to \u201cBuy the Future\u201d<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>The IRS had introduced the rule in an effort to close crypto tax loopholes, building on mandates from the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which classified digital asset brokers as tax-reporting entities. That law was originally aimed at centralized firms like Coinbase and Kraken, but the expanded rule extended that definition to DeFi platforms \u2014 sparking backlash.<\/p>\n<p>Since returning to office, Trump has positioned himself as an ally to the digital asset world. He\u2019s made clear he wants the U.S. to embrace blockchain innovation, forming a dedicated crypto task force during his first week and even signing an order in March to begin a federal bitcoin reserve. The decision to axe the IRS rule fits squarely within that broader agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump has officially reversed a controversial IRS rule that sought to apply traditional tax reporting requirements to decentralized cryptocurrency platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-154983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regulations"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
