New Rules for Reporting Digital Commodity and Asset Transactions

This act introduces a requirement to report digital commodity transactions, such as cryptocurrencies, to specialized repositories. The goal is to increase market transparency and protect investors. Citizens engaging in digital commodity transactions, especially those off-exchange, will need to report them in real-time.
Key points
All digital commodity transactions, both on-exchange and off-exchange, must be reported to new, specialized repositories.
Sellers of digital commodities must actually deliver them to the purchaser within 24 hours of the transaction, enhancing security.
New institutions, called digital asset repositories, will be established to collect and maintain transaction data, under government oversight.
Data standards for collected information will be introduced to facilitate market monitoring and fraud prevention.
