CCI Sues Illinois Over 0.2% Digital Asset Tax Law
What happened
The Crypto Council for Innovation filed a lawsuit in Sangamon County challenging Illinois' digital asset tax law. The tax imposes a 0.2% levy on crypto assets, and CCI and the Blockchain Association are pushing for a court to quickly determine the tax's lawfulness. The implementation of the tax had been previously delayed until July 1, 2027.

Why it matters

Illinois introduced a tax on digital assets, and efforts are currently underway to repeal the measure.
