The coalition requests clarification on airdrops, forks, and rebase events to prevent phantom income. Organizations want clear rules for collateral and liquidations, confirming that pledging collateral is not a taxable event. The letter seeks the application of de minimis tax rules to digital currencies to exclude gains used to purchase goods and services up to $600 per transaction.

Industry participants want clarification that digital assets are commodities for foreign persons trading in the United States. The letter seeks confirmation that blockchain infrastructure, cryptographic engineering, and smart contract development fall within qualified research for R&D tax credits.
