Senator Lummis supports a Bitcoin tax exemption for daily transactions
The proposed change would simplify crypto use in everyday purchases
Lummis urges citizens to advocate by contacting lawmakers

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is making headlines again in the crypto space. This time, she’s advocating for a de minimis tax exemption that would eliminate tax reporting requirements for small Bitcoin transactions used in daily life. The move could significantly boost crypto adoption by making it easier for Americans to use Bitcoin for everyday purchases like coffee or groceries.

Currently, every time someone spends Bitcoin—even for just a few dollars—they are technically required to report the transaction and pay capital gains tax if there’s any profit. This rule has been widely criticized for being impractical and unfriendly to mainstream crypto adoption.

Senator Lummis believes that fixing this issue is crucial for the future of digital assets in the U.S. economy.

Encouraging Public Action on Crypto Policy

Lummis is not just pushing policy behind the scenes—she’s actively calling on the public to help. She’s urging Bitcoin supporters to reach out to their Senators and House Representatives to support the de minimis tax exemption. This kind of grassroots engagement could play a major role in getting legislation across the finish line.

Crypto advocates argue that treating small Bitcoin payments like any other currency transaction is a logical step forward. A tax exemption threshold—say, under $50 or $200—would allow people to use crypto more freely without worrying about tax complications.

A Step Toward Mainstream Crypto Usage

The proposal is being seen as a key effort to normalize Bitcoin as a form of payment, not just a speculative investment. If successful, this could lay the groundwork for wider Bitcoin usage in retail, services, and peer-to-peer transactions.

This effort also signals a growing maturity in U.S. crypto policy, where lawmakers are beginning to address practical barriers to adoption instead of just focusing on regulation and enforcement.

After the US October CPI exceeded expectations, Goldman Sachs and Nomura added a forecast for an interest rate hike in March next year, while Deutsche Bank included a forecast for a rate hike in January next year. Currently, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike in December, with a 13% probability for a 50 basis point hike. On Wednesday, the US Treasury spot market was closed, but Treasury futures continued to fall, with corresponding yields rising by about 2 to 4 basis points, and spot gold came under pressure, dropping by 1.1%.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
