  BYDFi is here to spill the beans on the changes to the short term gains tax rules for cryptocurrency transactions in 2022! Hold on tight, folks! Previously, short term gains on cryptocurrency transactions were taxed at higher rates compared to long term gains. But guess what? The game has changed! The new rules now treat all cryptocurrency gains as ordinary income, regardless of the holding period. That means your short term gains will be subject to the same tax rates as your regular income. So, if you've been making quick trades and pocketing those short term gains, you might want to prepare yourself for a potentially larger tax bill this year. Remember, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to navigate the ever-changing tax landscape.
