Good day, I have a question regarding cryptocurrency taxation. I've heard that there's some confusion about whether or not one has to pay taxes on their cryptocurrency holdings if they haven't actually cashed them out yet. Could you please clarify the situation for me? Are there any specific rules or regulations that I should be aware of in terms of tax obligations related to my cryptocurrency investments, even if I haven't converted them into fiat currency? Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Do you have to pay taxes on crypto if you don't cash out?

One of the most common inquiries regarding cryptocurrency ownership is whether taxes are applicable to Bitcoin holdings that have not been liquidated.

For individuals who have simply held onto their cryptocurrency and have not generated any income related to it, there is typically no obligation to pay taxes on those holdings.

This is because when you trade one cryptocurrency for another, you are essentially selling your original cryptocurrency and acquiring a new one, which can result in a taxable gain or loss.
