    According to the IRS guidelines, if box 17 on your 1099-INT form is blank, you should report the interest income as 'Other Income' on your tax return. Make sure to include the total amount of interest you received from your cryptocurrency exchange in the appropriate section. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or use tax software to ensure accurate reporting.
