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.

The Current Debate about “Debanking”: Navigating Legal, Regulatory, and Reputational Challenges for Financial Institutions

Debanking—closing accounts or refusing to open accounts for customers perceived to be high risk—has become a hotly debated topic in recent years among groups on both sides of the political aisle. The debate involves allegations that banks have improperly debanked customers for political, rather than risk-based, reasons. Such accusations have shined a spotlight on banks’ account management practices, resulting in changes to regulatory practices and a new executive order from President Trump requiring additional regulatory changes and investigations. All of which will mean increased risk for financial institutions....Read more

Andrew Hinkes Discusses Senate Crypto Market Structure Legislation with Decrypt

Winston & Strawn partner Andrew Hinkes was quoted in a Decrypt article discussing the Senate’s draft crypto market structure legislation. The bill is a companion to the House’s CLARITY Act which both aim to amend New Deal-era securities laws to formally carve out crypto and to move most oversight of the crypto market from the SEC to the CFTC. The Senate bill creates a pathway for token issuers to fundraise up to $75 million a year for up to four years via tokens sales, so long as the tokens do not offer holders certain security-like rights. If a token satisfies those requirements, it would be deemed a non-security “ancillary asset” and be outside the SEC’s jurisdiction....Read more

What Are Export Controls?

Export controls are a set of laws and regulations that govern the physical or electronic movement, transfer, or brokering of commodities, tooling, equipment, materials, software, technology, data, and services (collectively, “Items”), worldwide, to jurisdictions outside of a given country (example: non-U.S. jurisdictions), persons (individuals or entities) who are not a part of a given country (example: non-U.S. persons), and for prohibited end-uses. The term “export controls” can be misleading as export controls, particularly United States export controls, are extraterritorial and therefore apply also to reexports and transfers exclusively among and within non-U.S. jurisdictions....Read more

What Are Imports?

Imports are goods that enter the customs territory of a given country after having been exported from a foreign destination. Imports and exports together represent foundational aspects of international trade. Therefore, they are often subject to trade agreements between jurisdictions, trade remedies that increase the cost of importing goods, and more cross-border considerations. In addition, countries may impose customs duties and/or tariffs, in other words taxes, on goods that enter the customs territory of a given country. Imports are fundamental to international trade and commerce. As such, legal issues arising from imports may implicate foreign policy, regulatory compliance, and cross-border transactions....Read more
