The Crypto Council for Innovation and the Blockchain Association announced their alliance with the Digital Chamber to request an expedited summary judgment from an Illinois court on the legality of the 0.2% tax on digital assets. Illinois officials agreed to delay the implementation of this tax from January 1 to July 1, 2027, as part of the lawsuit filed by the Digital Chamber. The plaintiff organizations claim that this tax was inserted into the state budget without debate or public consultation. A ruling on the merits could come as early as March if the court approves the expedited schedule requested. Additionally, Summer Mersinger is set to step down as CEO of the Blockchain Association, to be replaced on an interim basis by Kristin Smith.
