Illinois just sent a dangerous message to the crypto industry. A new 0.2% tax on crypto transactions applies to trading, transfers, custody services, and more. The concern isn't just the tax itself. It's what happens when innovators, businesses, and investors decide to build elsewhere. #CryptoPolicy #CryptoRegulation #DigitalAssets #CryptoLaw #Illinois

The deal is signed! I read the text: ✅US must develop “plan with at least USD 300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” ✅US must “terminate all types of sanctions.” ✅“US Department of Treasury will issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and derivatives, and all associated services.” ✅US “to make fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” ✅Safe passage “with no charge for 60 days only.” ✅Iran may charge “environmental tolls.” ✅“The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program.”

🚨 ILLINOIS ENACTS MOST AGGRESSIVE BITCOIN TAX IN THE 🇺🇸 US Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed Illinois’ new Digital Asset Tax Act into law. Starting January 1, 2027, Illinois will impose a 0.20% tax on the gross value of digital assets exchanged, transferred, or stored for customers. In practice: • Buy Bitcoin? Pay the tax. • Transfer Bitcoin? Pay the tax. • Store BTC with a custodian? Pay the tax. Move $1 million through a bank wire, ACH transfer, brokerage account, or traditional custodian and Illinois takes nothing. Move that same $1 million as a digital asset and the state takes $2,000. The tax applies regardless of whether there is any profit, income, or capital gain. It is levied simply because a digital asset is being exchanged, transferred, or stored. Critics argue this creates a first-of-its-kind regime that singles out blockchain-based activity while leaving analogous banking, brokerage, custody, and payment services untouched. The law targets the service layer of the digital asset economy. While trading for one’s own account is excluded, businesses facilitating exchange, transfer, or custody for customers must collect and remit the tax, with customers ultimately liable if it is not collected. The Crypto Council for Innovation warned that Illinois is becoming a national outlier by adopting a transaction-based tax on digital assets that has no comparable equivalent for stocks, bonds, derivatives, bank deposits, or traditional financial transactions anywhere else in the country. Industry groups say the law is a powerful incentive for entrepreneurs, startups, and investment to leave Illinois for more competitive jurisdictions. Perhaps most surprising is the timing. Illinois only recently adopted the Digital Assets and Consumer Protection Act (DACPA), a framework many viewed as a constructive approach to blockchain innovation. This new tax represents a sharp reversal. The question now is whether other states follow Illinois’ lead, or whether this becomes a case study in how to drive an emerging industry elsewhere.
