What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is a cryptocurrency built on the Ethereum blockchain. It was created for programmable smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).

The network allows you to:

deploy and interact with smart contracts, rnaccess decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols for lending, borrowing, and trading, create and trade non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital assets

Dependence on intermediaries for financial services like lending and tradingrnLack of programmable money in traditional financial infrastructurernBarriers to building decentralized applications on a global platform

Why do people sell Ethereum?

Ethereum holders often sell to realize profits after network upgrades or bull market cycles push the price higher. Developers and validators who earn ETH through staking or building on the network may sell to cover operational costs. Some investors rotate out of ETH into newer Layer 1 or Layer 2 tokens as the ecosystem evolves. Converting ETH to fiat through a regulated platform simplifies accounting and tax reporting.

Tax considerations when selling Ethereum

In most jurisdictions, selling Ethereum for fiat currency is considered a taxable event. Capital gains tax may apply based on the difference between your purchase price and the sale price, as well as your holding period. Consult a qualified tax advisor to understand the reporting obligations that apply in your country.
