US Representatives Max Miller and Steven Horsford have released a draft proposing a $200 stablecoin tax exemption for small transactions involving dollar-pegged, regulated payment stablecoins. The bill also introduces a five-year tax deferral for staking and mining rewards, targeting the issue of 'phantom income' in capital gains tax calculations. Additional measures include wash sale rules and mark-to-market accounting options for traders. The proposal aims to modernize tax policy for digital assets, improving liquidity and crypto markets efficiency as stablecoins play a larger role in payments.
