While New York and Rhode Island have implemented Pied-a-Tierre taxes and North Carolina and Kentucky have imposed a tax on prediction markets, the state of Illinois has decided to put cryptocurrency in its crosshairs. Effective in 2027, Illinois will be the first state to levy a tax on the value of digital assets involved in a covered transaction.
