  The IRS classifies DeFi transactions based on their nature and purpose. Generally, if a DeFi transaction involves the exchange of cryptocurrencies, it is treated as a taxable event. This means that individuals and businesses must report any gains or losses from DeFi transactions on their tax returns. The tax rate depends on various factors, including the holding period and the individual's tax bracket. It's important to keep accurate records of all DeFi transactions to ensure compliance with IRS regulations.

  Hey there! So, the IRS considers DeFi transactions as taxable events, just like any other cryptocurrency transactions. This means that if you make a profit from a DeFi trade, you'll need to report it on your tax return. The tax rate will depend on your income bracket and the duration you held the assets. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you're meeting your tax obligations. Happy trading!
