Report: U.S. Administration Backs Joining OECD CARF to Track Americans’ Foreign Crypto and Strengthen IRS Oversight

According to the source, the Trump administration is advocating for U.S. participation in the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) to enable the IRS to better identify Americans’ foreign crypto holdings; source: the source. CARF requires virtual asset service providers, exchanges, and custodians in participating jurisdictions to automatically report customers’ crypto account information to local tax authorities for exchange with partner countries under a common standard; source: OECD. OECD states that 48 jurisdictions have committed to implement CARF by 2027, including the EU and UK, expanding reporting coverage across major trading venues; source: OECD. For traders, U.S. alignment with CARF would raise KYC and cross-border reporting requirements for U.S. persons on offshore platforms, reduce opacity around cross-exchange flows, and narrow avenues for untaxed arbitrage, while the IRS has already finalized domestic digital asset broker reporting via Form 1099-DA beginning with 2025 transactions reported in 2026; sources: OECD and IRS.

The post provides no link to an official Coinbase announcement or regulatory filing, so the report remains unconfirmed at the time of posting; source: @cryptorover on X, Nov 10, 2025.

Trump Pledges to Sign Crypto Legislation: Key U.S. Bills (FIT21, Stablecoin, SAB 121) and Trading Implications for BTC, ETH

According to @cryptorover, Donald Trump said "I will sign crypto legislation," indicating support for advancing U.S. crypto policy if such bills reach his desk, source: Crypto Rover on X (Nov 9, 2025). Active legislation includes the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (H.R. 4763, FIT21), which passed the U.S. House on May 22, 2024 and awaits Senate consideration, source: U.S. House of Representatives, H.R. 4763 roll call (May 22, 2024). The House Financial Services Committee has negotiated federal-state payment stablecoin legislation through 2023–2024 that would establish issuer standards and supervision, source: U.S. House Financial Services Committee stablecoin draft materials and hearings (2023–2024). Congress approved a resolution to overturn SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 in 2024, but President Biden vetoed it on May 31, 2024; SAB 121 therefore remains in effect for crypto custody accounting, source: White House Veto Message on H.J.Res. 109 (May 31, 2024) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (March 2022). For traders, FIT21 would expand CFTC jurisdiction over digital commodities while preserving SEC oversight of digital asset securities, a structural shift that can alter token classification, exchange listing standards, and compliance costs for BTC, ETH and altcoins, source: U.S. House of Representatives summary of H.R. 4763 (FIT21). A federal stablecoin framework would formalize issuer licensing and reserve requirements, directly affecting USD liquidity rails and market depth in USDC/USDT pairs across U.S.-facing venues, source: U.S. House Financial Services Committee stablecoin draft framework (2023–2024). If a future administration signs crypto legislation aligned with FIT21 or a stablecoin regime, U.S. policy risk premia and liquidity conditions for BTC and ETH could reprice around Senate progress and implementation timelines, source: U.S. legislative status of H.R. 4763 and House Financial Services Committee stablecoin work (2023–2024).

Polymarket token launch planned after U.S. market reentry, not expected until next year - trading implications

According to the source, a social media post dated Oct 10, 2025 reported that Polymarket plans to launch a native token only after regaining a foothold in the U.S. market, with the token launch not expected until next year. According to the source timeline, this indicates no token listing or airdrop catalyst in 2025, making U.S. reentry progress the key near-term trading variable to monitor. According to the U.S. CFTC Order dated Jan 3, 2022 regarding Blockratize Inc. d/b/a Polymarket, prior enforcement over unregistered event contracts highlights that regulatory clearance is likely the gating item before any token rollout.

GENIUS Act Sets 14+ Month Timeline Before Any Stablecoin Can Claim Compliance: Trading Implications and Regulatory Timing

According to @jchervinsky, no stablecoin model can be described as GENIUS-compliant for at least 14 months because the rules are not yet written and the Act has not taken effect, limiting verifiable regulatory claims in the interim; source: https://twitter.com/jchervinsky/status/1965947735305331131. For trading, this means any issuer or token marketing GENIUS compliance before that window lacks confirmable regulatory backing and should be treated as unverified from a risk perspective; source: https://twitter.com/jchervinsky/status/1965947735305331131. The earliest realistic window for compliance-driven repricing is no sooner than roughly November 2026 (about 14 months from Sep 11, 2025), with critical catalysts being rule publication and the Act’s effective date; source: https://twitter.com/jchervinsky/status/1965947735305331131. Many implementation details remain unsettled, so traders should anchor decisions to official rulemaking milestones rather than promotional claims until the rules are finalized and effective; source: https://twitter.com/jchervinsky/status/1965947735305331131.

SEC support for on-chain capital raising and super-app trading platforms claimed by @rovercrc: verification checklist for traders

According to @rovercrc, SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the SEC will support on-chain capital raising without excessive legal barriers and will open the door for super-app trading platform innovation (source: @rovercrc). The post includes no accompanying SEC press release, rule filing, or speech transcript, so the statement is unverified for trading decisions until an official notice appears on sec.gov (source: @rovercrc; source: U.S. SEC). Under current U.S. securities law, on-chain issuance and app-based trading of securities fall under broker-dealer registration, custody, and Regulation ATS requirements, meaning any such initiative would operate through compliant intermediaries rather than outside the regime (source: U.S. SEC; source: FINRA). Traders should monitor the SEC Press Releases, Rulemaking Index, and Speeches pages, and any related FINRA notices, before positioning on this headline to reduce regulatory headline risk (source: U.S. SEC; source: FINRA).
