  Yes, you may be able to claim a tax deduction for the fees you pay on Coinbase when trading digital currencies. The IRS treats digital currencies as property, so the fees you pay can be considered as investment expenses. However, it's important to consult with a tax professional or accountant to ensure you meet all the requirements and guidelines for claiming this deduction.
