Texas Senator Ted Cruz is opposing new IRS crypto tax rules, which have been met with criticism from the crypto community. He plans to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to challenge a regulation that requires crypto brokers to report extensive income from digital assets. Critics believe this rule misinterprets the term "broker" and does not consider the decentralized nature of blockchain technology.

德克萨斯州参议员特德·克鲁兹 (Ted Cruz) 反对国税局新的加密货币税收规则，该规则遭到了加密货币社区的批评。他计划利用《国会审查法案》（CRA）来挑战一项要求加密货币经纪人报告来自数字资产的巨额收入的法规。批评者认为，这一规则误解了“经纪人”一词，并且没有考虑区块链技术的去中心化本质。

The IRS rule was part of the 2021 infrastructure bill, mandating that crypto brokers report earnings from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Many in the crypto industry see this as government overreach that could hinder innovation. Cruz's initiative has gained support from other Republican senators, including Cynthia Lummis, Tim Sheehy, and Bill Hagerty. The CRA allows Congress to overturn federal regulations with a simple majority vote within 60 business days.

美国国税局的规定是 2021 年基础设施法案的一部分，要求加密货币经纪人报告比特币等加密货币的收入。加密行业的许多人认为这是政府的过度干预，可能会阻碍创新。克鲁兹的倡议得到了其他共和党参议员的支持，包括辛西娅·卢米斯、蒂姆·希伊和比尔·哈格蒂。 CRA 允许国会在 60 个工作日内以简单多数票推翻联邦法规。

In addition to Cruz's efforts, various crypto advocacy groups, such as the DeFi Education Fund, the Blockchain Association, and the Texas Blockchain Council, have filed lawsuits against the IRS. They argue that the tax rule imposes unfair burdens on those in the decentralized crypto space.

除了 Cruz 的努力之外，各种加密货币倡导团体，例如 DeFi 教育基金、区块链协会和德克萨斯州区块链委员会，也对 IRS 提起了诉讼。他们认为，税收规则给去中心化加密货币领域的人们带来了不公平的负担。

Many crypto entities do not have the necessary data to comply with the IRS demands, making it nearly impossible for them to meet the requirements. They also criticize the IRS for using a vague and broad definition of "broker," which does not accurately reflect how blockchain functions.

许多加密货币实体没有必要的数据来遵守国税局的要求，这使得它们几乎不可能满足要求。他们还批评美国国税局对“经纪人”使用模糊而宽泛的定义，这不能准确反映区块链的运作方式。

Cruz's challenge highlights a growing resistance to government interference in the blockchain sector. For many in the crypto community, the IRS rule feels like an attempt to take away their earnings from innovation. Ron Hammond from the Blockchain Association noted that this issue has become a politically charged topic.

克鲁兹的挑战凸显了人们对政府干预区块链领域日益增长的抵制。对于加密货币社区的许多人来说，美国国税局的规定感觉像是试图剥夺他们从创新中获得的收入。区块链协会的罗恩·哈蒙德指出，这个问题已经成为一个充满政治色彩的话题。
