House Ways and Means Committee Passes Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act 38-5

The bipartisan margin matters more than the substance: a 38-5 committee vote signals digital-asset tax treatment is becoming a consensus issue rather than a partisan one, which is unusual for crypto legislation. The timing, coming within a day of the CLARITY Act's Senate procedural failure, suggests House Republicans are trying to keep a legislative vehicle moving while the broader market-structure effort stalls, potentially leaving tax clarity as the more viable near-term path. The open question is whether the full House takes it up before attention returns to the Senate's stalled process, and whether the de minimis threshold survives intact.
