Bill: Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act
Details: This legislation would comprehensively reform the tax treatment of digital assets under the Internal Revenue Code. Key provisions include exempting de minimis digital asset fees under ten dollars from capital gains tax, eliminating tax realization events for U.S. dollar stablecoins fluctuating near their peg, and offering simplified accounting for widely traded digital assets. The bill also establishes tax parity between digital assets and traditional financial instruments regarding lending and dealer mark-to-market elections, clarifies that mining and staking rewards constitute ordinary income, and mandates a Treasury study on using blockchain technology for tax compliance.

Bill: CLARITY Act
Details: The "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025," or "CLARITY Act of 2025," establishes a regulatory framework for digital commodities, granting the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over spot market transactions and related entities like exchanges, brokers, and dealers. It aims to differentiate digital commodities from securities, introduce a "mature blockchain system" concept for regulatory exemptions, and protect individual self-custody rights.

Bill: GENIUS Act
Details: The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

While he chokes off cancer research and fires VA researchers, the President is using your taxpayer dollars to buy crypto and enrich his personal allies. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it's not even close.

The crypto crash has hurt so many people, but the damage hit unevenly, with wealthier investors shielded from the worst while amateur traders see their savings vanish. We need regulation and legislation to protect consumers. I introduced a bill to do that: beyer.house.gov/news/documents…

As the digital asset market continues to grow, it’s important that we close the regulatory gaps that leave consumers and our financial system vulnerable to fraud and manipulation. As @SecYellen says – government’s role is to support responsible innovation.

My Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act would address those issues, and complement the goals of the Executive Order. beyer.house.gov/news/documents… I will work with the Administration and my colleagues to advance a regulatory approach in line with this directive.

Nor does it directly address stablecoins or their role in linking traditional and decentralized finance. This underscores the need for Congress to act promptly to properly regulate these assets—as last year’s President’s Working Group on Financial Markets report recommended.

While this order correctly takes a broad approach that covers many of the important policy concerns around digital assets, the order *does not* clearly delineate regulatory responsibility between the SEC and the CFTC.
