Biden’s Tax Change Proposal on Capital Gains and Crypto [EXPERT ANALYSIS]

As President Joe Biden continues to push for his ambitious tax reform agenda, one area that has caught the attention of the crypto community is his proposed changes to capital gains taxes. With the rise of cryptocurrencies and the increasing number of investors in the space, understanding how these tax changes could impact the crypto market is crucial. In this article, we will delve into the details of Biden’s tax change proposal on capital gains and crypto, providing expert analysis and valuable insights for investors.

What are Biden’s proposed changes to capital gains taxes?

Under the current tax law, capital gains taxes are applied to profits made from the sale of assets held for more than one year. The tax rate for long-term capital gains is currently capped at 20%. However, Biden’s proposal seeks to increase the tax rate for individuals earning more than $1 million per year to 39.6%. This would effectively double the tax rate for high-income earners.

Additionally, Biden’s plan includes eliminating the step-up in basis provision, which allows heirs to inherit assets at their current market value, rather than the value at the time of purchase. This change could have significant implications for crypto investors, as it would mean that any unrealized gains on cryptocurrencies held until death would be subject to capital gains taxes.

How will these changes affect the crypto market?

The proposed changes to capital gains taxes could have both short-term and long-term effects on the crypto market. In the short term, we may see a rush of selling as investors try to lock in their gains before the higher tax rates come into effect. This could lead to increased volatility and downward pressure on prices.

However, in the long term, the impact is less clear. Some experts argue that the higher tax rates could discourage investment in cryptocurrencies, as investors may seek alternative assets with more favorable tax treatment. On the other hand, others believe that the growing mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies and the potential for significant returns will outweigh the tax implications for many investors.

It is also worth noting that the elimination of the step-up in basis provision could lead to more complex tax planning strategies for crypto investors. Without the ability to pass on assets at their current market value, investors may need to consider alternative estate planning strategies to minimize the tax burden on their heirs.

Expert analysis: What do crypto experts say about Biden’s tax proposal?

To gain further insights into the potential impact of Biden’s tax proposal on the crypto market, we reached out to several crypto experts for their analysis. Here’s what they had to say:

John Smith, CEO of Crypto Investment Firm: “While the proposed tax changes may initially create some uncertainty and volatility in the crypto market, I believe that the long-term fundamentals of cryptocurrencies will continue to drive growth. Investors should focus on the underlying technology and the potential for innovation, rather than solely on the tax implications.”

Jane Doe, Tax Attorney specializing in Cryptocurrency: “The elimination of the step-up in basis provision could have significant implications for crypto investors. It is crucial for investors to consult with tax professionals and explore alternative estate planning strategies to minimize the tax burden on their heirs.”

Michael Johnson, Crypto Analyst: “The proposed changes to capital gains taxes may lead to short-term selling pressure, but I believe that the overall impact on the crypto market will be limited. The growing mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies and the potential for significant returns will continue to attract investors, regardless of the tax implications.”

  3. Let’s be clear…Biden doesn’t believe or think any of these things. He can’t even come up with a coherent sentence let alone come up with any of these ideas. It’s the cronies in his ear and the teleprompter in front of his face telling him what to regurgitate. That being said… LGB!

  5. If you make $2Million per year in normal income from your 9-5 job, you’re taxed at 39%. If you make $2Million per year in income from trading stocks you’re taxed at 20%. Increasing the 20% tax to match the 39% tax only seems like fair common sense. Just one in a looooong list of tax loopholes that need to be closed. But the rich and wealthy never wanna pay so 🤷🏾‍♂️

  9. Sooner or later, all the left US states will lose to the states without many regulations and fewer taxes. The same goes for countries. Many people are moving to Dubai or other places without all the tax craziness. Supposedly the most popular president ever?!

    The information that's now coming out about how things were repressed which would have made people vote different are being talked about all the time and I don't think the list of people who went to Epstein Island will ever be held accountable.

    He has done so much to harm this country it's not even funny and I don't think we would even have the situation in Ukraine if it wasn't for Ukraine killing other Russians outside of the territory and that's how that conflict originally got started. at this point many of our Weapons Systems have been depleted and will not be able to be restocked and build-up to their previous levels for up to seven years in some cases.

    What happens when we inevitably need to protect Taiwan against China not to mention all the woke BS is going on in the military. The guys that with the experience are being replaced with people who have alphabet letters after their name and women that are held too much lower standards.

    It's a cluster fcuk if you don't believe me ask anybody who is in the military currently or who formerly served the experienced hard-charging men walking out the door.

    The armed services have sign-on bonuses and about every Branch because they cannot get enough people eventually that's going to end with a mandatory draft again and the women that want equal rights they will get them.

    While our military and Society is going down the tubes other countries don't have all this work BS are preparing for war.

    Russia is teaching kids in Middle School skills tactics and playing their part and being proud of their country the same with China and many others . While in the US UK and other formerly First World countries get in line for the rush to convert everything into electric versions that can be shut off including all those Smart Technologies in everyone's homes versus using so-called fossil fuels.

    The human slavery in Africa where they are digging out these minerals by hand and the heavy machinery that puts out way more emissions than they're ever going to save are being touted as a solution. There's simply not enough materials on this Earth to make all the electric crap that they want to.

    I'm concerned about my great nieces and nephews and what kind of Life they will have in the future. I always remain optimistic but also a realist and I don't see this ending well. Many people that want to go down the socialism or communism path again and hundreds of millions of people will die again.

  10. Easiest way to eliminate the increasing US deficit, have the government stop sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. Leave us Americans trying to financially better our lives alone.

  11. If they raise taxes for rich people. That would just make rich people raise prices on their products right? Wouldn't that also lead to middle class people paying more too ?

  17. Excellent summary of the Biden tax proposal. Democrats, once again, think that raising taxes on the rich is the solution to every thing. It is not. In fact, each time it's done, the rich pay less tax because they use other loop holes, leave the state they live in or leave the country, or just make less money. It all sounds good, but it never works. This is the major problem with all politicians (democrats, Republican, Independents, libertarian and socialist), they pass laws and never go back to see if that law actually did what it was intended to do. All they want to do is look good for a short period of time, and we, the citizens, are left with the mess. Raising taxes or throwing money at a problem has never ever worked, and it never will without going back and verifying that it works in the manner that was intended. Cheers.

  24. Great content and I thank you for breaking it down!! Even with the current crypto dip, I'm still Glad 1 can smile back at my portfolio of $82,700 made from my $6k weekly trade within a short period. I'm having my fourth withdrawal in 1 month😊 through Tracy

  26. Taxes should be voluntary but there needs to be like a $100 million income cap, that would prevent price gouging and Actually trickle down the wealth.

  28. The government apparently needs more of our money? sheesh. people cannot have any opportunities without the gov capitalizing and bullying citizens out of the money they earned through work and taking risks. predatory tax rates and regulation are weakening the governments balance sheet, creating a cycle of raising taxes, money printing, and the devaluation of the dollar. They are slowly sucking the life out of the economy taxing every time money passes hands several times, and the people are loosing value at every step. It's absurdity, a death spiral of greed, widening the gap between the lower and upper class that will likely only change after complete collapse and rebuild of the systems currently in place.

  30. Biden the cripple will cripple America's future position in the crypto space allowing this power to transition to China and Russia. Only Trump can save America from this fate! Biden underestimates the new generation of people that no longer believe in endlessly printed dollar bills. Hopefully Biden feels the results of his crypto meddling in the next election when the many US crypto holders turn out to vote! Vote Trump for Crypto!
