US lawmakers are renewing a bipartisan push to close a lucrative tax loophole for cryptocurrency investors. The proposed legislation would apply 'wash sale' rules to digital assets, preventing investors from claiming a tax deduction on a loss if they repurchase the same or a similar asset within 30 days.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ The Wire takeaway

A core feature of every US crypto tax product is about to be legislated away. Your new competitive advantage will be tracking basis across wallets under the new rules, not just flagging wash sale opportunities that no longer exist.
