Horsford Pushes PARITY Act as Crypto Tax Floor at Consensus Miami
Rep. Steven Horsford pitches PARITY Act as “durable floor” for crypto tax at Consensus Miami
Rep. Steven Horsford used an appearance at Consensus Miami to promote the PARITY Act, describing the proposal as a “durable floor” for how cryptocurrency activity should be treated under the tax code.
Speaking at the industry conference, Horsford framed the legislation as an effort to establish a baseline approach to crypto taxation. The emphasis on a “durable floor” positioned the bill as a starting point for policy that could be built on over time, rather than a narrow fix aimed at a single issue.
The comments come as crypto taxation remains one of the most contested areas of U.S. digital asset policy. Participants across the ecosystem have argued that unclear rules and inconsistent treatment can make routine activity difficult to report and comply with, while policymakers and regulators have pushed for clearer oversight and better tax enforcement.
By making the pitch at a major crypto conference, Horsford brought the issue directly to an audience of builders, investors, and policy stakeholders, underscoring that tax policy is increasingly central to broader debates about how digital assets should be regulated and integrated into the U.S. financial system.
