US lawmakers to discuss crypto tax policy amid push to pass three bills

The hearing notice suggested a focus on a tax framework for digital assets, but did not mention specific witnesses or policies previously proposed.

Lawmakers in the US House of Representatives are scheduled to hold a hearing on a crypto tax policy framework as part of Republicans’ push to consider bills on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins and market structure.

In a Wednesday notice, leadership on the House Committee on Ways and Means and Oversight Subcommittee said they had scheduled a July 16 hearing to focus on “affirmative steps needed to place a tax policy framework on digital assets.” The event, “ensuring digital asset policy built for the 21st century,” will come as House representatives are expected to vote on three crypto-related bills.
