What’s new? On May 9, US President Joe Biden called for an end to vague cryptocurrency tax rules. On his Twitter account, he said that “Congress should cut tax loopholes that help wealthy crypto investors.” Such a decision will bring $18 billion to the budget. However, Biden did not specifically state what loopholes existed in the legislation or what reforms will increase fees.
