I've been actively trading in cryptocurrencies for quite some time, and I've recently come across the concept of the wash sale rule in traditional finance. My question is: does this rule apply to cryptocurrency trading as well? As a professional practitioner in the field of cryptocurrency and finance, I'm curious to understand if there are any tax implications or regulations that I should be aware of when executing trades in the crypto market. Understanding this could help me optimize my trading strategy and ensure I'm compliant with all relevant regulations. Does the wash sale rule apply to crypto?
