According to sources, the capital gains tax rate for people with an annual income of not less than US$1 million will be raised to 39.6%, far exceeding the current basic tax rate of 20%. Coupled with the 3.8% investment income tax rate to fund Obamacare, the capital gains tax level is higher than the highest salary tax rate.

For people with an annual income of $1 million in high-tax states, the capital gains tax rate may exceed 50%. In New York State, the state and federal total capital gains tax rate may be as high as 52.22%. For California, it may be 56.7%.

U.S. investors who invest in crypto assets (these assets have risen by about 80% since December last year), if they sell cryptocurrencies after holding them for more than a year, they already face the risk of capital gains tax. The Internal Revenue Service has also increased its taxation on the sale of encrypted assets.
