Congress on verge of making regulated dollar stablecoins act almost like digital cash


Washington isn't trying to solve every crypto policy fight at once, but it appears to be carving out a workable path for one specific category of digital asset: the regulated, dollar-pegged stablecoin.

The $GENIUS Act established the first federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, and a bipartisan House tax discussion draft now proposes friendlier tax treatment for those same tokens when people actually use them.

Together, the two efforts point toward a deliberate, stablecoins-first lane in American crypto policy that could reshape how users, merchants, and issuers interact with digital dollars in the years ahead.

What the stablecoin tax draft actually proposes

The draft legislation is the Digital Asset PARITY Act, a bipartisan discussion draft first released in December 2025 by Representatives Max Miller (R-Ohio) and Steven Horsford (D-Nevada), both members of the House Ways and Means Committee. An updated version was re-released on March 26, 2026, with significant revisions to its core stablecoin provision.

In the revised March draft, gains from selling a “regulated payment stablecoin” generally wouldn't be included in gross income, and losses wouldn't be recognized, unless the taxpayer's basis in the token falls below 99% of its redemption value.

For exchanges, the recipient would take a deemed basis of $1. To qualify, the stablecoin must be issued by a permitted payment stablecoin issuer under the $GENIUS Act, pegged only to the US dollar, and have demonstrated tight price stability over the prior 12 months. Brokers and dealers are excluded.

For ordinary people, this means spending a qualifying dollar stablecoin could stop triggering a small, irritating tax event every time the token's value drifts a fraction of a cent.

The draft is trying

#South Korea's Unification Ministry stated Friday it has no knowledge of any formal U.S. protest or intelligence-sharing restrictions, following media reports suggesting Washington expressed frustration over a cabinet minister's public disclosure of a previously unconfirmed North Korean nuclear facility.The controversy stems from remarks made by Unification Minister Chung Dong-young during a parliamentary hearing on March 6, where he identified a uranium enrichment facility in Kusong, North Korea — a site not previously confirmed publicly — alongside the already-known locations of Yongbyon and Kangson. South Korean officials say Chung's statements were drawn from publicly available information, including international research publications, and that the United States had accepted this explanation after the South Korean ministry addressed an inquiry from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul.South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo reported that Washington conveyed its displeasure to Seoul over the disclosure, with sources in both countries indicating the U.S. signaled it might partially limit North Korea-related intelligence sharing. According to the report, Chung's remarks were a triggering factor amid wider accumulated tensions between the two allies over foreign policy and security disagreements.When asked directly whether intelligence sharing had been restricted, a U.S. State Department spokesperson declined to comment, citing standard protocol on intelligence matters. The U.S. Embassy in Seoul also offered no immediate response.Adding another layer to the dispute, Chung attributed part of his Kusong remarks to statements made by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi. However, a review of the official IAEA transcript shows Grossi referenced only Yongbyon and Kangson — with no mention of Kusong — raising further questions about the source of the minister's claims.South Korea maintains that any U.S. concerns were not directly tied to the minister's comme

A short-selling campaign targeting Wall Street's "tax avoidance business" is now aimed at a multi-billion dollar asset management giant.

According to a recent letter to investors obtained by Bloomberg, short-selling firm Orso Partners has established a short position in Affiliated Managers Group (AMG). AMG is an investment firm managing $813 billion, and its holdings include AQR Capital Management, founded by Cliff Asness.

Orso's logic is straightforward: AQR's core growth engine in recent years-its tax optimization strategy is facing a direct threat from tightening regulations. Once regulations are implemented, AMG's profits will be the first to be affected.

Following the report, AMG's stock price fell as much as 1.7% to $294.28 that day, completely erasing its earlier 2.9% intraday gain.

Solana price is walking a tightrope and below it sits a pile of liquidation fuel waiting to be lit. What looks like a simple rejection on the daily chart is actually a layered fight between short-term bears and overleveraged bulls, and right now, Solana price is stuck right in the middle of it.

Short-Term Pressure Mounts Near Critical EMA Rejection
Solana price just fell under the 50-day EMA, and it didn’t shrug it off either. The latest daily candle turned red, signaling that sellers aren’t just present they’re active.

Now here’s where it gets interesting. On the 1-day liquidation map, there’s roughly $99.73 million in cumulative short liquidation leverage stacked above price. That’s a crowded short trade. Normally, that kind of imbalance creates a magnet upward markets love punishing consensus.

But that’s not what’s happening… at least not yet. Instead, the price is slipping, suggesting that in the immediate term, the path of least resistance is still downward. In other words, bears are controlling the short-term narrative despite the temptation of a short squeeze.

ETH to $2,900? Ethereum Price Chart Signals Key Structural Shift
Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, might be on the verge of a structural shift that might eye $2,900 if validated.

According to Ali, Ethereum has officially cleared the X-axis of its ascending triangle, breaking through the critical $2,385 resistance level. This opens the path to $2,900, the analyst added.

Ali indicated that this price move represents a significant structural shift. The analyst indicated that Ethereum flipping the $2,385 into a support floor neutralizes recent sell signals and might suggest a major trend continuation.

With the overhead supply cleared, Ali stated that the technical objective for this formation is now $2,900. As long as Ethereum holds above the breakout zone at $2,385, the advantage will continue to tilt toward bulls.

Ethereum short-term price action

Ethereum rose to a high of $2,466 on April 17, extending its recovery from a March 29 low of $1,937. $ETH's price faced resistance at this level as sellers sought to halt the recovery. Bulls continued to press in and did not allow $ETH's price to dip below $2,300.

If $ETH's price continues to hold above the highlighted $2,385 level, the recovery may extend to $2,900, then to $3,050. Such a move suggests that Ethereum may have bottomed out at $1,742.

This bullish view will be invalidated in the near term if the price turns down sharply and breaks $2,300. That would suggest the recent rise might have been a bull trap. $ETH could then decline to the $1,916 level.
