最新报道:New York Assemblymember Phil Steck proposed Bill A0966 to impose a 0.2% excise tax on crypto transactions, aiming to generate $158 million annually for substance abuse programs in upstate schools. The tax would apply to NFTs, mined/staked assets, and stablecoins. Steck estimated New York's crypto transaction volume at $79 billion based on Chainalysis data adjusted for state GDP. The bill cites crypto's fraud risks, referencing Gemini's $50 million settlement with NY AG Letitia James over its Earn platform. It also criticizes Bitcoin mining's environmental impact. The proposal follows other states like Wyoming using crypto revenues for education.
