Crypto Tax 2026: Are Wallet-to-Wallet Transfers Taxable?

Is moving your crypto to a hardware wallet or between exchanges a taxable event?

Most people find that the answer is generally "no"—but there’s a common gray area that often gets overlooked: Transfer Fees. In this video, we’re exploring how tax authorities typically view "disposals" versus "transfers" and why paying a gas fee in crypto could potentially trigger a capital gain.

What we’re covering today:
- The Basics: Why moving your own money is usually seen as tax-neutral.
- The Hidden Trap: How paying a fee in ETH, BTC, or SOL might be interpreted as "spending" or "disposing" of an asset.
- Deductibility: Are those transfer fees typically tax-deductible? (It’s often murkier than you’d think!)
- Koinly Tips: How to ensure your software doesn’t accidentally report your self-transfers as sales.
