Why Crypto Taxation is Important to Understand
The taxation system for cryptocurrency is not just a technicality. It is an expression of how governments consider digital assets—either property, currency, or a commodity. To investors, the tax treatment decides what the actual cost of owning, trading, or even gifting digital currencies really is. To policymakers, it is a tool to bring a rapidly growing, decentralized economy into the regular tax fold. Otherwise, the crypto system will be an area of gray where tax avoidance, money laundering, and financial volatility have room to operate.
