【The U.S. Crypto Industry Calls on Congress to Block New Regulations for DeFi Brokers】According to Golden Finance, on December 27, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced new regulations that define certain decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols as brokers and require them to fulfill customer identification (KYC) obligations, triggering strong opposition from the crypto industry. The regulation is expected to affect up to 875 DeFi brokers and 2.6 million taxpayers. Legal experts criticize the rule as exceeding authority and potentially infringing on constitutional rights. Alexander Grieve, Vice President of Paradigm, calls on the new 'crypto-friendly Congress' to pass the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal this regulation. The Blockchain Association states that this rule is 'the last-ditch effort to push the U.S. crypto industry overseas' and has indicated that it will take action against it.
