18 Crypto Firms Seek to Join Court Fight Over Illinois’ 0.2% Crypto Tax

The breadth of the coalition — a policy fund plus seventeen other groups and companies — signals that the industry treats state-level transaction taxes as a structural threat rather than a one-off compliance cost, and that it prefers coordinated legal intervention to individual lobbying. A 0.2% levy hits hardest at firms running high-turnover on-chain activity, so the outcome will matter well beyond Illinois if other states read it as a template. Whether the court grants leave, and whether the coalition's arguments shape the eventual ruling, is the open question worth tracking.
