Why You Need to Track Ethereum Transactions
As the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Ethereum transactions are heavily scrutinized by tax authorities. Key taxable activities include:
ETH Trading: Every purchase or sale of ETH triggers capital gains/losses.
DeFi Activities: Swaps on Uniswap, lending on Aave, and yield farming all create taxable events.
Staking Rewards: ETH staking rewards are taxable income when received.
Gas Fees: While not directly taxable, gas fees affect your cost basis and can be significant.
NFT Transactions: Minting, buying, and selling NFTs are all taxable events.
