I've been increasingly interested in cryptocurrency investments, but I'm a bit confused about the tax implications. Could you please clarify whether cryptocurrency exchanges are taxable? Specifically, are transactions on these platforms subject to capital gains taxes? Do the profits made through buying and selling digital currencies need to be reported to tax authorities? Also, is there any distinction between the taxes applicable to crypto trading and those for traditional financial markets? I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide on this matter.
