Q How are cryptocurrency transactions taxed?
A
In most jurisdictions, cryptocurrency is treated as property for tax purposes, meaning transactions trigger capital gains tax. You incur a taxable event whenever you sell crypto for fiat currency, trade one cryptocurrency for another, spend crypto to buy goods or services, or receive crypto as income (which is taxed at ordinary income rates).

What is Cryptocurrency?Cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a digital currency. It is an asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units, and verify the transfer of assets. Cryptocurrencies use decentralized control as opposed to centralized digital currency and central banking systems. The decentralized control of each cryptocurrency works through distributed ledger technology, typically a blockchain, that serves as a public financial transaction database.
