U.S. President Donald Trump urged Congress to swiftly pass the “One Big Beautiful Bill”. Trump aims to have the bill enacted by Independence Day, July 4. However, crypto regulations are complicating his July 4 deadline.
Senate discussions are dragging on as senators review hundreds of amendments through rapid votes. Debates often extend into late nights, delaying the process and threatening the July 4 target.
Crypto Tax Exemptions and Lummis’ Proposals
Two key crypto market proposals are under consideration in the bill. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis suggests exempting transactions under $300 and annual transfers below $5,000 from taxation. She also requests that staking, airdrop, and mining income be taxed only upon sale, aiming to prevent double taxation. These proposals were extensively discussed at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference.
Democrats’ Ban Proposal and Senate Decision
Meanwhile, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren, Jeff Merkley, and Jack Reed proposed banning government officials from owning and promoting crypto, including their spouses and children. The Senate rejected this proposal, intensifying debates over crypto regulations.
The Republicans’ slim majority in the Senate slows the progress. Afterward, the bill will proceed to the House of Representatives, further extending the timeline. This makes Trump’s July 4 goal increasingly difficult. Crypto regulations and tax reforms in the U.S. hold critical importance for the future of financial markets.
Senate negotiations are lasting long hours, with the One Big Beautiful Bill expected to pass by the end of July.
