What EY can do for you
Figuring the tax on US$2 trillion+¹
With EY professionals, tax leaders can trade uncertainty for acumen, preparing their Tax function – as well as their broader business – for the evolving world of cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency is gaining wider adoption. Whether it’s novel or well-known to your organization, digital assets demand your immediate attention.
The global market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies has at times reached levels equivalent to the eighth largest global economy² by GDP. And it’s only growing. What needs to grow alongside that figure is tax leaders’ understanding of digital asset tax implications.
The highest global 24-hour trading volume in April 2022 was
$144 billion
according to Coin Market Cap.
Individuals and investors, brokers and businesses alike need to go beyond trading and using digital assets. When it comes to crypto, you must:
- Understand what triggers taxable events
- Track all transactions
- Develop a tax approach
