Does cryptocurrency qualify for 1031 'like-kind' exchanges?
Could you elaborate on whether cryptocurrencies are eligible for the 1031 'like-kind' exchange provisions under the Internal Revenue Code? Given the unique nature of digital assets and their decentralized structure, it's unclear whether they would be considered "like-kind" property for tax purposes. Is there any guidance from the IRS or relevant case law that clarifies this matter? Understanding the tax implications of cryptocurrency transactions is crucial for investors and taxpayers alike, so any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
