This indication by the SEC has implications investors may not first consider from a tax perspective. Since cryptocurrencies are generally classified as property, wash sale regulations should not currently be a concern for investors. This means investors can sell an investment to realize a tax loss, only to buy it back immediately thereafter at a bargain.

Today, wash sales only apply to stocks and securities, since Bitcoin and Ethereum have not been labeled a stock or security, the IRS can only tax traders for non-economic substance transactions under property rules. These transactions are similar to wash sales, considering the volatility of crypto markets and the potential argument that investors made late trades in response to market-moving news as opposed to tax motivations, traders have a legitimate position on the matter.
