> Illinois officials and crypto industry groups have jointly asked a court to delay the state’s controversial digital-asset tax from Jan. 1 to July 1, 2027, while a constitutional challenge proceeds. If granted, brokers would temporarily avoid collecting the levy, but the law would remain in force and both the lawsuit and rulemaking process would continue.
