As a financial professional, I'm curious to understand the intricacies of cryptocurrency interest taxation. Could you elaborate on how interest earned from cryptocurrency investments is taxed? Specifically, are there any specific rules or regulations that govern the taxation of such interest? Are there any differences in taxation depending on the type of cryptocurrency or the platform where the investment is made? Additionally, how does the taxation process work for individuals versus businesses? I'd appreciate a clear explanation of the various aspects involved in taxing cryptocurrency interest.
