Excuse me, could you please clarify for me the tax implications of using a DeFi wallet? Specifically, am I obligated to pay taxes on any transactions or holdings within this type of wallet? I understand that the decentralized finance landscape can be complex, and I'm just trying to ensure that I'm staying compliant with any relevant tax regulations. Is there a general rule of thumb or should I consult a tax professional for specific guidance? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

A tax advisor can assist DeFi participants in implementing strategies such as tax-loss harvesting, which involves selling underperforming assets to offset taxable gains from other investments.

Additionally, long-term capital gains can be leveraged, as holding cryptocurrency for over a year can result in a lower tax rate.
