BlockBeats News, November 19th. According to Bloomberg, Indiana Republican Senator Todd Young wrote to Treasury Secretary Scott Bennet on November 19th urging the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to reconsider its 2023 guidance on the tax treatment of cryptocurrency staking rewards. As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, Senator Young questioned the current regulations that require cryptocurrency holders to pay taxes when they "receive" staking rewards, rather than when they "sell" them.

Staking refers to the process where cryptocurrency holders lock up their assets to support blockchain network operations and validate transactions. Bennet currently serves as the acting IRS commissioner and has direct oversight of this policy.
