Ten members of the U.S. House of Representatives have jointly sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about the crypto provision in the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. They explained that the current definition of a broker in the law “would increase uncertainty in the cryptocurrency industry, pick winners and losers … all while eroding our country’s competitive edge against other countries in the digital asset marketplace.”
The letter was signed by Representatives Darren Soto, Ro Khanna, Stacey Plaskett, Eric Swalwell, Tim Ryan, Susan Wild, Marc Veasey, Jake Auchincloss, Al Lawson, and Charlie Crist.
Emphasizing that “those making gains in the cryptocurrency markets should pay their fair share of taxes,” the letter urges regulators to also “ensure this innovative technology is not making it easier for criminals to circumvent our laws and regulations.”
