The FMV is crucial in determining the tax obligation as it sets the benchmark for what is considered a taxable gift.

For instance, if the FMV of the cryptocurrency exceeds $19,000 in 2025, the sender will be required to fill out IRS Form 701.

This threshold is determined by the fair market value (FMV) of the cryptocurrency on the day it is sent.
