I'm a bit confused about the tax implications of converting USDC to USD. Could you clarify for me? I understand that cryptocurrencies are a relatively new asset class and the tax rules surrounding them can be quite complex. So, when I convert my USDC holdings to USD, does that constitute a taxable event? And if it is, how would I calculate the capital gains or losses for that conversion? I'd really appreciate your insights on this matter as I'm trying to stay compliant with all tax regulations. Is converting USDC to USD taxable?

When purchasing USDC, the initial value sets the basis for taxation.

Upon selling USDC, the value at the time of sale determines the taxable amount.

In most cases, if the purchase and sale prices are the same, the taxable difference is zero.
