Illinois' proposed crypto tax rules could ban DeFi by forcing decentralized exchanges to act as tax brokers.

Andreessen Horowitz, Uniswap Labs, and the DeFi Education Fund warn that Illinois' proposed Digital Asset Tax Act rules could effectively ban decentralized finance (DeFi) by requiring decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to act as tax-collecting brokers, a role they cannot fulfill. The rules also demand storing customers' private keys, raising security concerns, and propose taxing transfers between personal wallets and blockchains. These groups argue the rules exceed legal authority and conflict with federal and state laws, urging regulators to delay implementation until after judicial review. Illinois has postponed the tax's rollout to July 2027 amid ongoing legal challenges from crypto industry groups.
