Rep. Mike Kelly

@MikeKellyPA

I'm proud to support the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, which passed @WaysandMeansGOP today. Digital assets are an increasingly important part of our economy, and the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act allows our tax code to keep pace with innovation. This legislation provides a clear roadmap for Americans who use digital assets, and it establishes rules of the road for taxation and enforcement without granting special treatment. The Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act also includes my legislation, the Charitable Deductions for Digital Asset Donations Act, which would allow for widely traded digital assets to be eligible for charitable contributions. Watch my full remarks

Through strong bipartisan collaboration, Republicans and Democrats came together to modernize outdated tax rules p pace as digital assets become part of everyday life for millions of Americans, putting them on a level playing field with traditional financial assets.

Giving to your favorite charity should be easy. My new legislation, the Charitable Deductions for Digital Asset Donations Act, would allow for digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, to be eligible for charitable contributions. This change will enable more Americans to support churches, charities, and nonprofits that serve the most vulnerable. Learn more: kelly.house.gov/media/press-re…

Currently, taxpayers must pay to obtain an appraisal before claiming a deduction for digital assets donated to charity, even if the value is obvious. The Charitable Deductions for Digital Asset Donations Act not only simplifies this process, but also provides parity between digital assets and other financial instruments. @MikeKellyPA

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.
