  Yes, there can be tax obligations for holding onto digital assets without withdrawing them. In many countries, including the United States, digital assets are treated as property for tax purposes. This means that any increase in the value of the assets while you hold them may be subject to capital gains tax when you eventually sell or exchange them. It's important to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific tax laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

For example, in the United States, the IRS has issued guidance stating that digital assets are treated as property for tax purposes.
