A possible policy shift is the subject of much conjecture as the first crypto summit approaches. The realization of a zero crypto tax policy, which has prompted a heated debate, is at the center of this excitement.
The controversy revolves around the question of whether or not Donald Trump will do away with the cryptocurrency capital gains tax, a decision that might significantly impact the sector.
Curiously, Cinneamhain Ventures founder Adam Cochran has put a damper on the increasing rumors of a zero-crypto tax policy in the US.
Trump cannot “unilaterally change the tax code,” according to Cochran’s latest X post. Moreover, he said, Congress has the authority to make changes to the relevant legislation.
Mike blocked me for repeatedly fact checking him, but that won’t stop me.
The President can’t unilaterally change the tax code. Only Congress can.
It is one of the few Congressional powers expressly laid out in the Constitution.

Cochran claims that the Constitution clearly states that the exclusive authority to enact such laws is Congress. He further stated, “Even if the President announced it, or tried to sign an EO for it, that wouldn’t make it law.”
The importance of knowing how Congress shapes tax policies and the US government’s separation of powers were both highlighted by Cochran. Citizens could benefit from learning to distinguish between different types of power, which he said is why civic education is so important.
March 7, 2025 (Friday) is the date that President Trump has chosen to hold the inaugural White House Crypto Summit. Bo Hines, the executive director of the working group, will run the summit, with Crypto Czar David Sacks serving as chair. The Office of Communications just announced,
“Attendees will include prominent founders, CEOs, and investors from the crypto industry, as well as members of the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets.”
The sector is eagerly awaiting significant policy pronouncements at the forthcoming summit, as Trump strives to turn the US into a crypto capital, Coingape reports.
Eric Trump’s zero-crypto tax policy is one such expectation. The community anticipates substantial advantages from the proposed zero crypto tax policy, despite the fact that the possible consequences of this policy change are unclear.
An suggestion to increase investment, creativity, and the United States’ crypto lead was recently put out by Eric Trump: a zero crypto tax policy. Although Eric Trump does not have official policymaking authority, his views are seen by many as representing those of the present government.
Given Trump’s unwavering backing for the cryptocurrency sector, many anticipate that he will carry out the plan. The crypto summit later this week is expected to bring about numerous policy revisions, one of which is the implementation of a zero crypto tax policy.
But since the zero crypto tax proposal’s specifics are still unknown, questions and doubts remain. Not knowing if it will work for all cryptocurrencies makes the idea’s scope hard to pin down.
Additionally, it is unclear if the program would address both immediate and distant benefits. Additionally, it is unclear if the $0 tax would be applicable to individuals or businesses.
The proposal’s implementation may also have far-reaching effects. Take the cryptocurrency market as an example; it might see short-term downturns and extremely volatile prices.
Considering the present state of US regulatory frameworks, it might not be the best moment to implement such a drastic policy change.
