About this episode
Zack Shapiro is Head of Policy at the Bitcoin Policy Institute and the Managing Partner at his law firm, Rains. Zack joins us today to discuss a final regulation implementation by the IRS which would redefine the category of "brokers" to include non-custodial platforms. This rule subjects developers of these platforms to stringent reporting requirements which would undermine the peer-to-peer nature of their tools. We break down what the rule is and what impacts it would have, if it goes unchallenged.
