Crypto Tax Update: New Tax Rules on the Horizon?

On July 30, President Trump’s Working Group on Digital Assets released its comprehensive “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology” report (the Report). The 160-plus-page report sets forth a series of recommendations seeking to “ensure crypto becomes a hallmark of the new American Golden Age” while outlining a proposed framework for regulating digital assets. A key section of the Report focuses on the taxation of digital assets and sets forth proposals on the modernization of the tax framework to better align with the realities of the digital asset ecosystem. The proposals address a range of substantive tax issues, including the classification of digital assets for tax purposes, the timing and character of income from mining and staking activities, and the tax treatment of stablecoins, and also recommends updates to taxpayer and third-party reporting requirements.

What Is Children’s Privacy Law?

An important children’s privacy law in the U.S. is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA requires the Federal Trade Commission to issue and enforce regulations concerning the online privacy of those under age 13. The Commission’s first COPPA Rule took effect in 2000, and an amended Rule took effect in 2013. The primary goal of COPPA is to place parents in control over personal information collected from their children online. Its Rule applies to commercial websites, online services, and mobile apps that collect, use, or disclose children’s personal information. The Act applies to websites designed for children’s use but can also apply to general audience sites. Additionally, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that prevents the sharing of personal student data and educational records with third parties without parental consent. However, the law does allow schools to share student information with some types of educational vendors and consultants....Read more
