  In general, crypto transaction fees are not considered deductible expenses for personal use or personal transactions. The tax authorities usually view these fees as transaction costs rather than deductible expenses. However, if you are engaged in crypto trading as a business or if you use cryptocurrencies for business purposes, you may be able to deduct the transaction fees as business expenses. It is advisable to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific rules and regulations in your jurisdiction.
