We have the official list of Digital Commodities from the SEC🔥 APT, AVAX, BTC, BCH, ADA, LINK, DOGE, ETH, HBAR, LTC, DOT, SHIB, SOL, XLM, XTZ and XRP.✅ Here's how Commodities are taxed: Commodities are generally taxed as capital assets, with futures contracts commonly utilizing a 60/40 rule (60% long-term, 40% short-term capital gains) regardless of holding period. Physical commodities (gold/silver) are often taxed as collectibles at a maximum 28% rate, while commodity ETFs/ETNs vary, ranging from ordinary income rates to special partnership tax rules. Commodity ETFs and ETNs: ETFs holding Futures: Often follow the 60/40 rule and report via Form K-1. ETFs holding Physicals: Taxed at the 28% collectible rate for long-term gains, explains Fidelity. ETNs: Usually taxed as debt instruments; short-term gains are ordinary income, and long-term gains are capital gains. Important Considerations: Mark-to-Market: Futures traders must report unrealized gains/losses at year-end. Loss Treatment: Capital losses can generally offset ordinary income up to $3,000 per year, with excess losses carried forward.

🚨 THE WHITE HOUSE HAS SET A MARCH 1 DEADLINE TO MOVE THE CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL FORWARD. The core issue has now been decided, and it goes against crypto firms and stablecoin holders: no yield on idle balances. Today’s meeting was led directly by the White House, which brought draft text and controlled the discussion. Coinbase, Ripple, a16z, and crypto trade groups attended. Banks were represented through national banking associations. The draft makes it clear that firms will not be allowed to offer rewards simply for holding stablecoins. The savings account style yield model is effectively off the table. The debate has narrowed to whether rewards can be allowed only when tied to specific activities such as lending or other structured use. The draft also gives the SEC, Treasury, and CFTC the power to enforce the ban on idle stablecoin yield, with penalties of up to $500,000 per violation per day. Banks are still pushing for a deposit outflow study to examine whether payment stablecoins could reduce traditional bank deposits. However, the broader market structure bill is still viewed as positive for crypto overall. It aims to create clearer rules around custody, exchange oversight, token classification, and the roles of the SEC and CFTC. A formal framework would reduce regulatory uncertainty that has limited institutional participation. For crypto firms, clarity on what is allowed and what is not could unlock more long term capital, even if certain yield models are restricted. Talks will continue this week, and an end of month agreement is realistic. After that, a formal framework could be ready by March 1, and the bill would move to the next stage.

@EleanorTerrett What's your feeling on it actually getting done this month????

Extra nugget: Attendees were required to hand over their phones during the meeting. It was serious biz today.

🚨NEW: Per sources in the room, today’s stablecoin meeting was smaller than last week and included reps from @coinbase, @Ripple, @a16z, plus trade groups @BlockchainAssn and @crypto_council. No individual bank reps attended — bank voices were represented via trade associations @ABABankers, @bankpolicy and @ICBA. Public statements from attendees are once again being described as “productive” and “constructive.” But what does that actually mean? Sources say there was a notable difference today: the White House took the lead in driving the discussion, rather than letting crypto firms and bank trades steer the discussion, as in prior meetings. White House Crypto Council Executive Director @patrickjwitt brought draft text that served as the central focus of the conversation. The language acknowledged concerns banks raised in last week’s “Yield and Interest Prohibitions Principles” document, while making clear that any future restrictions on rewards would be narrow in scope. Earning yield on idle balances, a key crypto industry goal, is effectively off the table. The debate has narrowed to whether firms can offer rewards linked to certain activities. One crypto-side attendee told me bank concerns appear to stem more from competitive pressures than from deposit flight, which had been framed as the original worry. A bank-side source told me they’re still pushing to include a deposit outflow study in the draft — one that would examine the growth of payment stablecoins and their potential impact on bank deposits. The same source said they were encouraged by proposed anti-evasion language that would give the SEC, Treasury, and the CFTC authority to enforce a ban on paying yield on idle balances, with civil monetary penalties of $500,000 per violation, per day. So what’s next? Bank trade groups will brief their members on today’s discussions and gauge whether there’s room to compromise on allowing crypto firms to offer stablecoin rewards. One source said an end-of-month deadline doesn’t seem unrealistic, with talks set to continue in the coming days.
