The U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service recently issued an important new regulation (RIN 1545-BR39), which expanded the scope of application of existing tax laws and included DeFi front-end service providers in the definition of "brokers". These service providers, including any platform that interacts directly with users (such as Uniswap's front-end interface), are required to collect user transaction data starting in 2026 and submit information to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through Form 1099 starting in 2027, including users' total income, transaction details and taxpayer identity information.
