- President Trump plans to eliminate capital gains taxes on U.S. cryptocurrency companies, potentially making American crypto assets more attractive to investors.
- The proposal aims to mandate U.S. registration for cryptocurrency companies and provide tax incentives to establish America as a crypto innovation leader.
- Critics argue that tying cryptocurrencies to a specific nation contradicts the fundamental principle of decentralization in digital currencies.
President Trump is all set to proceed with his ambitious plan to eliminate all capital gains taxes on cryptocurrencies issued by U.S. companies. The initiative, confirmed by Eric Trump, seeks to solidify American dominance by making crypto tax-free for US citizens holding assets such as ADA, ALGO, XRP, and HBAR.
According to Fox News correspondent Eric Shawn, this proposal might be ambitious but might put non-American cryptocurrencies at a significant disadvantage, with a potential 37% tax burden on gains. The legislation seeks to mandate cryptocurrency companies to be registered as entities in the United States prior to issuing their assets. However, companies currently holding crypto assets will reportedly be given an opportunity to relocate their operations to the US.
Sources highlight that the initiative is part of a broader strategy of the Trump administration to establish the United States as the global leader in cryptocurrency innovation. By incentivizing the creation and trading of “Made in America” digital currencies, the administration aims to position the U.S. as the crypto capital of the world.
“This would reshape the crypto market entirely,” said an insider. “For American investors, it makes the decision clear—investing in U.S.-issued cryptocurrencies would become far more advantageous without the tax burden of up to 37%.”
Trump’s Crypto Tax Plan Might Undermine Decentralization Ethos
Proponents of the bill believe that the policy is expected to boost the demand for American cryptocurrencies, drawing investment and talent to the country’s blockchain ecosystem. This, in return, can transform the U.S. into a powerhouse for blockchain and cryptocurrency development.
Some believe that the concept of an ‘American cryptocurrency’ is contradictory as a truly decentralized cryptocurrency cannot be tied to a specific nation. They argue that if a cryptocurrency is centralized, it undermines its core principle of decentralization.
For now, the crypto community and global markets are closely watching as the proposal unfolds, with significant implications for the future of the industry.
