U.S. HOUSE OVERTURNS IRS DEFI RULE: TRUMP’S FIRST CRYPTO LAW AHEAD?
U.S. lawmakers voted to cancel an IRS rule that required crypto companies, including DeFi platforms, to collect and report taxpayer and transaction information.
The House passed the vote 292-132, following the Senate’s decision to reject the rule that was finalized during the final days of former President Biden’s administration. This could change how crypto businesses are regulated.
Fox Business Journalist Eleanor Terrett noted that due to a rule that budget-related bills must start in the House, the Senate will need to vote on the resolution one more time. Once that vote passes, it will go to President Trump’s desk as the first crypto-related bill to become law.
Missouri Republican Jason Smith urged lawmakers to support the resolution, saying the IRS rule could hurt U.S. businesses and stifle innovation. He added that the rule might be impossible to enforce, as DeFi platforms are different from centralized crypto exchanges or banks and cannot gather the required user information to comply with the rule.
Last week, 70 Senators voted to overturn the IRS rule, with Trump’s advisers urging him to sign it. Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) noted the Senate must approve it again due to budget rules. If signed, the IRS would be blocked from enforcing similar rules in the future.
Illinois D------t Danny Davis argued the rule was part of the 2021 Infrastructure Act, comparing crypto to stocks and saying crypto platforms should report like stock brokers. Meanwhile, North Carolina Republican Tim Moore claimed the rule overstepped and could harm U.S. innovation in digital assets.

Texas D------t Lloyd Doggett called the resolution “special interest legislation,” saying that it could help tax cheats, criminals, and t-------t financiers, and add $4 billion to the national debt, going against President Trump’s goal to cut the debt.

COINBASE GETS GREEN LIGHT TO OPERATE IN INDIA AFTER RECEIVING APPROVAL FROM REGULATORS
Top US-based crypto exchange Coinbase has received approval from India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to resume operations in the country after ceasing activities in early 2023 due to regulatory issues.
According to a Coinbase press release, the approval enables the leading US exchange to offer crypto trading services in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital asset markets – India.
Coinbase has announced plans to introduce retail trading services in the country later this year, followed by additional investment products curated for Indian customers.
Says John O’Loghlen, Coinbase’s Regional Managing Director for Asia-Pacific,
“India’s developer community and entrepreneurial energy are unmatched. But too often, young Indian entrepreneurs have felt forced to look abroad to build global companies. Crypto can change that. By expanding access to our trusted platform and tools such as Base, we aim to empower a new generation of builders to stay home, innovate locally, and scale globally.”
The exchange says that India is a “global technology powerhouse home to one of the most vibrant startup ecosystems,” making it a natural fit for Coinbase’s international expansion.
