Trump to Repeal IRS DeFi Tax Rule After Senate Vote

Image
Trump’s IRS DeFi tax repeal has gained quite a bit of momentum after the Senate recently voted 70-28 to overturn a controversial tax rule targeting decentralized finance. President Trump is expected to sign this resolution pretty soon, eliminating reporting requirements that were established during the final days of the Biden administration. The rule would have essentially forced DeFi platforms to operate just like traditional securities brokers, and many in the industry were concerned about its implications.

White House Tariffs Cut—Impact on Crypto & Markets

Image
White House is scaling back tariffs as the Trump administration is shifting toward a more targeted approach for its April 2 implementation. This change has boosted Bitcoin prices and also helped ease some of the economic uncertainty in crypto markets lately. Bitcoin gained about 2.7% after those recent reports that the administration would likely skip over sector-specific duties while still going ahead with “reciprocal tariffs” on major trading partners.

SHIB exchange reserves hit an all-time low

Image
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has underperformed the wider cryptocurrency market since the start of the year. However, a recent development concerning the token’s exchange reserves could herald the beginning of a move to the upside. Despite once being one of the most popular meme coins, in recent years, it has become significantly overshadowed by Dogecoin (DOGE).  As a response, the project has shifted its focus toward utility — and while positive developments abound, this has failed to translate to an upward motion on the price chart. At press time, SHIB was changing hands at a price of $0.00001251, with a 1.48% pullback on the weekly chart bringing year-to-date (YTD) losses up to 42.25%.
