On Thursday, the Blockchain Association says the proposed the proposed infrastructure bill "threatens crypto innovation." As previously reported, one of the bills "pay-fors" is tightened tax reporting requirements for crypto companies, which are estimated to raise some $28 billion to be used to fund infrastructure projects over a period of years.
