The crypto industry is resisting proposed regulations that would require crypto brokers to report certain transactions, citing concerns about the impact on decentralized finance and constitutional issues. More than 124,000 letters have been submitted in response to the proposed rules, with some arguing that they go beyond the definition of a broker. The Blockchain Association's senior counsel has stated that the proposal is too broad and should only apply to centralized entities. The proposal has also raised constitutional concerns, including privacy issues and vague definitions.

Sources suggest that the Treasury should find a way to balance privacy rights with stronger cybersecurity measures when implementing regulations to determine digital asset transactions. While transparency is important, prioritizing privacy and safety is crucial. Balancing these competing interests is a challenging but necessary task to uphold the country's rights and freedoms.
