Warren goes after crypto industry again 
Senator Warren in a letter sent to US President Joe Biden highlighted the rise of cryptos that has presented both opportunities and challenges for the financial system. She added that the digital assets had offered innovative solutions and investment opportunities but they have also presented regulatory and enforcement challenges.
She stated that it is crucial to establish clear guidelines with reporting requirements. It is needed to be done in order to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of cryptos.
As per the letter, Individuals, trusts, and entities holding crypto assets valued over $1,000 would be mandated to report such holdings. This report will come under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) annually. The act aims to improve transparency and enable effective tax compliance monitoring by the authority.
One of the major points Warren pitched in the letter is Wealth Tax linked to crypto. As reported, a 1% wealth tax would be imposed on crypto holdings exceeding $500,000 for individuals, trusts, and entities. This is being done to combat growing wealth inequality.&nbsp; Dual risk for market? 
It is important to note that Warren addressed the dual nature of cryptos. She mentioned the need for clear guidelines to make sure that accountability and transparency are being looked after in the industry. According to Warren, the proposed legislation strikes a balance between promoting crypto innovation and maintaining a fair tax system in the digital age.
