US Federal Agencies Propose Rules for Cryptocurrency Reporting
The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have released a set of rules for cryptocurrency brokers’ reporting requirements. The proposal was made on August 29, 2023.
Reporting Requirements for Digital Asset Brokers
- Digital asset brokers, including trading platforms, payment processors, and certain hosted wallet providers, will be required to report gross proceeds for all sales or exchanges of digital assets.
- The reporting requirement will start on January 1, 2025.
Federal Oversight of Spot Markets
Congress could designate a federal regulator to provide comprehensive federal oversight of spot markets for nonsecurity crypto assets. This would help mitigate financial stability risks and ensure user protections on these platforms.
