As the industry is regaining its traction from the crackdown in China. Another FUD might be right around the corner. The much-talked-about U.S Infrastructure Bill has its share of the crypto space. The proposal in the bill includes a provision that requires mandatory tax reporting to the industry.
The U.S house of representatives speaker, Nancy Pelosi has confirmed a discussion this week. The focal point of discussion will regarding the infrastructure bill. Consecutively, the $1 trillion infrastructure bill will be put in for votes on the 30th of September.
The proposal of the bill uses the word “Broker”, which relates to a broader set of audiences. The broker here refers to software developers, miners, manufacturers of hardware, node validators, and wallets. However, the implementation is hard to implement, owing to the anonymity of users in the decentralized system.
If it materializes as per the proposals, businesses will be obliged to file reports. Whenever the transactions are more than $10,000. The regulating body aims at an additional revenue of $28 billion, from the crypto taxation.
Meanwhile, the treasury department and other agencies are keen on tightening regulations on stable coins. As the use of stable coins is rising exponentially. The department also seeks assurance from the creators. That the stable coin holds the technical capacity to handle large transactions.
Consecutively, sections from the government do believe that the bill could possibly oppress creators. Netizens hope that the proposal is ruled out, as it eliminates the sole purpose of a decentralized system. Enthusiasts believe that any proposal against the goodwill of the industry will be a draconian rule. And will put the employment of people in the industry at stake.

Summing up, the China FUD did affect the space notably. Where the crash was in the range of 10 – 12%. Similarly, we can expect plummets in the range of 10 – 20% if the bill materializes. Bitcoin and other cryptos did fare the FUD well, and hopefully, will glide through this time as well.
In addition, about 14% of Americans, that is more than 21.2 million adults own cryptocurrencies. The majority of them belong to the working class, as they are aged between 25 and 44. In addition, more than 40,000 crypto enthusiasts have called Congress over the bill. We can expect, the government to make amendments favouring its citizens. Moreover, the U.S will not wish to skip out on the tech of the future.
