U.S. House member reintroduces the PARITY Act, revising how cryptocurrency taxes are handled

Gate News, April 14—U.S. Representatives Steven Horsford and Max Miller have reintroduced the Digital Assets Protection, Regulation, Innovation, Taxation, and Revenue Act (PARITY Act), aiming to revise the way the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) handles crypto taxation. The bill was first released in December last year as a discussion draft and was reissued on March 26 this year for further consideration. The bill removes the prior $200 de minimis exemption threshold for small transactions and provides that when trading using regulated payment stablecoins, gains or losses will not be recognized unless the taxpayer’s cost basis in the stablecoin is less than 99% of its redemption value, and it sets a $1 deemed cost basis for exchange transactions. The bill would also apply wash-sale rules to digital asset transactions, and it distinguishes “passive staking” from activities such as trading and other transactions. It is not yet clear what the next steps for the bill will be, but industry insiders expect strong efforts to incorporate crypto provisions into tax legislation that could become law.

I noticed that many beginners are interested in cryptocurrency arbitrage because it sounds like a cheat code: no analysis needed, you can start with any amount, and the profit is supposedly instant. But let’s figure out what it really is and why everyone talks about arbitrage, but only a few actually do it. Arbitrage in simple words is when you buy an asset cheaper in one place and immediately sell it more expensive elsewhere. It sounds simple, but in reality, it’s more complicated. The essence is that the same cryptocurrency is traded at different prices on different platforms or trading pairs. For example, ETH might cost $1500 on one exchange and $1600 on another — that difference is your potential profit. The main features of arbitrage are threefold. First, the risk is minimal — you buy and sell almost simultaneously before the price has a chance to change. Second, speed is essential: on the crypto market, prices change in seconds, so either you’re fast, or someone else has already made a profit from that difference. Third, the profit is usually small in percentage — rarely more than 5-10% per trade, so large volumes are needed to make real money. The history of crypto arbitrage began when the market was small and fragmented. I remember examples: in 2017, Bitcoin on African exchanges was 87% more expensive than everywhere else. The Japanese market also had its premium because foreign platforms simply couldn’t operate there. The Korean premium (Kimchi premium) still exists today. Back then, it was a real way for ordinary traders to earn. But as the market developed, everything changed. When large market makers and institutional capital entered, they started closing price gaps faster through automation and powerful algorithms. Now, the majority of arbitrage deals are done by bots that track even unconfirmed transactions. There are several types. Intrabank — trading different pairs on the same platform, the fastest method. Inter-exchange — buying on one exchange and selling on another, which involves fees and transfer times. International — the most complex, involving platforms in different countries and local payment systems. There’s also DEX arbitrage through liquidity pools, but that’s a separate story. As for P2P platforms — they have their own game. Prices are negotiable and can differ significantly from the market. Someone may be willing to pay a premium if they need a specific payment system or want to withdraw without fees. You can buy cheaper on P2P and sell higher on an exchange, or vice versa. In practice, arbitrageurs work through so-called bundles — essentially a roadmap of what to buy and where to sell. A simple bundle might have 2-3 steps, but often there are complex chains with 10+ intermediate pairs and platforms. The profitability of a bundle is calculated as a percentage of the invested funds per full cycle. If a bundle yields 15%, then in one cycle you can earn 15% of your deposit. The main problem: as soon as a bundle becomes known or a big player notices it, the price difference starts shrinking. Supply and demand balance out, and profits decrease. That’s why arbitrageurs are constantly searching for new opportunities. To find bundles, they use various tools. Cryptorank has a dedicated tab with price gaps between exchanges — the most convenient free option. Coinmarketcap shows all markets and pairs where the asset is traded. Dexscreener helps track liquidity pools and the rate differences within them. There are specialized scanners that automatically search for bundles: Coingapp, Arbitragescanner, ArbiTool, and others. Free versions usually just show exchange directions and send notifications, while paid ones connect to your exchange accounts via API and can trade automatically. But here, DYOR — you’re handing over real money to software, so caution is essential. Many beginners look for ready-made bundles in Telegram channels, alpha clubs, or from influencers. Sometimes there’s genuinely useful info, but often it’s late signals or attempts to sell you a course. Truly profitable bundles usually require payment, and no one guarantees how long they’ll stay profitable. So it’s better to learn how to analyze the market yourself and build your own bundles. Regarding legality — arbitrage is lawful if you follow platform rules: pass KYC, don’t exceed limits, verify payment methods. The main thing is not to get suspected of money laundering, so you need to prove the origin of your assets and avoid mixers. If you use automated API trading, check the exchange’s policy regarding such software. To start, you need accounts on several exchanges. The specific list depends on which bundles you plan to find. Usually, the biggest gaps are between top exchanges and lesser-known platforms, so registration on different sites might be necessary. But don’t rush to create accounts everywhere — first, research where arbitrage is possible for the assets you’re interested in, then register. In conclusion: arbitrage is earning from price differences, and it benefits the market by reducing fragmentation and stabilizing prices. It was accessible to everyone before, but now it’s mainly the work of professionals and bots. Still, the opportunity to earn remains if you’re ready to seriously analyze, manage dozens of accounts, and constantly seek new directions. It’s not passive income or a cheat code — it’s real work. Good luck finding bundles!

Just caught something worth paying attention to. Michael Burry, the guy who's made some pretty accurate market calls in the past, is raising alarms about where Bitcoin could be headed if we see further price weakness. His concern is pretty specific - if BTC keeps sliding from current levels around $73.92K, the mining operations are going to feel real pain. We're talking potential bankruptcies across the sector. And honestly, that's not unfounded. The mining industry operates on razor-thin margins when you factor in electricity costs and hardware depreciation. A sustained downturn puts enormous pressure on profitability. What I find interesting about Michael Burry's predictions is how he zeros in on these structural vulnerabilities that most people overlook. The crypto market gets fixated on price action, but he's pointing at the operational side - the miners who actually secure the network. Their financial health directly impacts network stability. The broader context here is the ongoing volatility we're seeing across crypto. Every swing in price has cascading effects through the whole ecosystem. For miners specifically, it's brutal because their cost structure is largely fixed. When revenue drops, they can't just dial down expenses overnight. Burry's track record on market predictions means people listen when he talks, and rightfully so. This warning about the mining sector's exposure to price decline is worth considering if you're tracking Bitcoin's impact on the broader industry. The vulnerabilities he's highlighting are real, and they could reshape how we think about mining economics going forward.

Lately, everywhere is about social mining, points, badges, and as I keep scrolling, I forget what I originally wanted to do... I initially came to the blockchain to find liquidity pools with deeper trading volume, but now I spend every day doing tasks, replying to posts, sharing, as if I'm working for the platform in exchange for a little digital sticker. Honestly, identity is quite tempting, but the most expensive cost isn't Gas; it's time and attention. Especially recently, when memes and celebrities shout out, as soon as attention shifts, many newcomers are pulled along by the hint that "points = future airdrops." Whether they actually take the bait or not, people are already exhausted. Anyway, I’ve set a reminder for myself: doing tasks is fine, but don’t do it until you forget to cut losses, and don’t write your losses into poetry and stay up until 3 a.m. still feeling self-congratulatory. That’s all for now.
