**[CCI and Blockchain Association Sue Illinois Officials to Oppose 0.2% Digital Asset Tax]** Odaily Planet Daily reports that the digital asset advocacy organizations Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) and Blockchain Association (BA) have filed a lawsuit against Illinois officials to oppose the state's 0.2% cryptocurrency tax. The tax, set to take effect in January 2027, would be levied based on transaction volume rather than revenue. The two organizations filed the complaint in the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of Sangamon County, arguing that the tax violates the U.S. Constitution, the Illinois Constitution, federal and state due process laws, and the Internet Tax Freedom Act, and could result in double taxation. The complaint also states that the tax regulations are overly vague, placing compliance burdens on residents and brokers while exposing them to risks of civil and criminal penalties. Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger commented that Illinois cannot implement a tax system that discriminates against digital commerce and increases uncertainty for consumers and businesses. The Digital Chamber filed a similar lawsuit in July regarding the same tax, claiming it discriminates against digital asset traders. (Cointelegraph)
