[Wyoming Senator Reintroduces Proposal to Exempt Small Crypto Transactions from Taxes During Market Structure Discussions]
According to Cointelegraph, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, who is set to leave office in January 2027, has reintroduced a proposal to exempt small cryptocurrency transactions from taxes during Senate discussions on the Digital Asset Market Structure Act. In an interview with CNBC, Lummis stated that the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee are considering a $300 tax exemption, allowing users to avoid paying capital gains taxes when making payments.
In July 2025, Lummis had introduced a standalone bill proposing a capital gains tax exemption for crypto transactions under $300, with an annual cap of $5,000. She mentioned that she is seeking a balanced approach to determine when Bitcoin transactions should be subject to capital gains taxes and when they should be treated as a simple medium of exchange, like the U.S. dollar. Lummis noted that her Democratic colleagues have yet to vote in favor of the crypto market structure bill.
