Why Crypto Tax Rules Are Becoming a Problem

On March 27, Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad urged U.S. lawmakers to reform crypto tax rules, stating that treating digital assets as property no longer fits industry growth. Under current regulations, even paying gas fees or using stablecoins for daily transactions can trigger taxable events, forcing users to calculate cost basis and track gains or losses.

Rising Compliance Burden from Micro Transactions

According to Coinbase data, tax-related customer inquiries increased by 34% year-over-year, with millions of 1099-DA forms expected by 2025, many tied to small transactions. Over 63% of users lack proper cost basis records, exposing them to compliance risks. This highlights the importance of ransaction monitoring, cryptocompliance, AML, and riskdetection in managing crypto activities.
