Crypto Taxes
In the US and many other countries, crypto is taxed as property: selling, swapping, or spending it can trigger a capital gain or loss, and income such as staking rewards can be taxable when received. US brokers now report some transactions on Form 1099-DA, but that does not replace your own records, and a qualified tax professional can help.
