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 a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)?

A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a legal document issued by a judge before trial that forces or prevents an action for a specified time frame. During court cases that involve trademark infringement or the use of a trade secret, a TRO can halt patent, copyright, or trademark infringement in the short term. It can offer relief in various situations, such as to prevent the sharing of a business secret or an unfair competition practice, until a court hearing on a preliminary injunction can be held. A TRO petition is an emergency request for a state or federal court to take immediate action based on submitted evidence....Read more

What Is the Copyright Royalty Board?

The U.S. Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) is a three-judge panel that functions as an independent unit within the Library of Congress. It performs the duties specified in the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act. The Act established statutory licenses that let approved parties utilize certain types of copyrighted works by paying a set royalty, without having to request an individual copyright license from each rights-holder. The CRB sets, and periodically adjusts, the rates and terms of the statutory licenses, and can also make determinations on the distribution of statutory license royalties collected by the U.S. Copyright Office. For example, the judges can determine, for a five-year period, the rates musical performers receive when their works are played via digital services. When licensors and licensees cannot reach rate agreements on their own, the CRB hears testimony from the various parties and then sets the rates. CRB Judges serve six-year terms. The first CRB judges were appointed by the Librarian of Congress in 2006....Read more
