Senate Approves 'Beautiful Act' With Narrow Vote in America
The U.S. Senate recently passed the "Beautiful Act," a comprehensive bill aimed at modernizing the nation's economic infrastructure and tax policies. While the Act does not impose direct regulations on cryptocurrencies, its broader implications for the market are significant.
One of the key aspects of the Act is the introduction of tax cuts and spending measures, which are expected to foster economic stability and boost investor sentiment across traditional and digital asset markets. This improved confidence may indirectly support positive momentum for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), currently boasting a market cap of $2.10 trillion and a dominance of 64.78%.
However, the Act does not include specific crypto tax reforms, such as a de minimis exemption on small crypto transactions, a move that has created some uncertainty among crypto investors. This omission could contribute to market volatility or restrained adoption, as the tax treatment of everyday crypto transactions remains unclear.
Despite this uncertainty, data suggests stability in the long-term trajectory of cryptocurrencies amid these fiscal influences. For instance, Bitcoin is currently trading at $105,576.47, marking a 1.89% decrease in the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, other legislative initiatives like the GENIUS Act and the Clarity Act are moving through Congress to specifically address the regulation and classification of digital assets. These laws are expected to impact taxation and regulatory clarity but are separate from the Beautiful Act.
