A Bold Move That Could Reshape America’s Crypto Future
Washington, D.C. — April 10, 2025 — In a landmark legislative pivot, former President Donald J. Trump has officially revoked the IRS’s controversial crypto tax reporting rule, signaling a massive shift in the U.S. government’s approach to digital assets.

The executive rollback, announced today during a high-profile blockchain policy roundtable, eliminates the previously mandated IRS rule requiring all crypto transactions over $10,000 to be reported by brokers and exchanges — a move critics called “unconstitutional surveillance” and “anti-innovation.”
CryptoCaster Quick Check:
🧾 What Was Revoked?
The now-defunct rule, established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021), had long been a pain point for both crypto users and platforms. It forced wallet providers, miners, validators, and even NFT platforms to file 1099 forms for transactions involving decentralized assets — even when those entities had no access to user data.
That’s now history.
“Crypto should be a tool of freedom, not a target for the IRS,” Trump stated. “We’re putting innovation first and returning control to the people.”
🔍 What This Means for Crypto Investors
This sudden reversal offers short-term regulatory clarity and long-term bullish sentiment for U.S. digital asset markets. Experts predict a surge in onshore trading volume, increased DeFi participation, and potential relocation of global crypto projects to U.S. soil.
Key Implications:
- ❌ No more mandatory transaction tracking by decentralized platforms
- ✅ Greater privacy for wallets and self-custody holders
- 📉 Reduced legal risk for exchanges and DeFi protocols
- 📈 Possible rally in crypto markets as investor confidence returns
🇺🇸 Is the U.S. Becoming Pro-Crypto Again?
The repeal aligns with Trump’s broader campaign to “bring blockchain home” — part of his Crypto Innovation Agenda which includes:
- Creating a national blockchain hub in Texas
- Recognizing Bitcoin mining as strategic energy use
- Replacing CBDC discussions with “decentralized dollar” alternatives
With anti-CBDC language already inserted into his platform and pro-crypto leaders like Cynthia Lummis and Tom Emmer backing the move, it’s clear the U.S. is recalibrating its crypto posture — fast.
🧠 Expert Take: A Win for Web3
According to industry analyst Elena Park of Chainlight Capital:
“This is the first real policy win for crypto in years. The U.S. just went from hostile to competitive overnight.”
DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) could now enjoy regulatory breathing room as Congress debates more permanent Web3-focused legislation.
🌍 Global Ripple Effect
Other countries are watching closely. Japan recently cut its crypto gains tax to 20%, and now the U.S. appears poised to compete in the race for global crypto leadership.
