Published | Video Starts at 01:17

Other provisions sought the common sense goal of alleviating burdensome paperwork requirements, especially in situations where it's highly unlikely that there would be any tax associated with those transactions. And indeed, there are provisions that would close loopholes that are specific to the digital asset industry, another goal that I think we all share. (01:17–01:31)
