A $56 billion Illinois state budget advanced by the General Assembly on Monday includes a new digital asset tax provision that could affect crypto users and firms operating in the state. The measure, described by supporters as a revenue tool, would levy a 0.2% tax on digital asset transactions carried out by entities acting as digital asset brokers in Illinois. According to Cointelegraph, the provision is framed as a “privilege tax” within the Digital Asset Privilege Tax Act amendment to the budget.
