    Yes, swapping crypto is taxable in the United States. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so any gains or losses from swapping crypto are subject to capital gains tax. Make sure to keep track of your transactions and report them accurately on your tax return.

    Swapping crypto is indeed taxable in the United States. The IRS considers it a taxable event, similar to selling or exchanging property. It's important to keep records of your swaps and consult with a tax professional to ensure you're fulfilling your tax obligations.
