    As a leading digital currency exchange, BYDFi is here to provide you with some insights on tax regulations for NFT transactions in the USA. The IRS treats NFTs as property, which means that any gains from selling or trading NFTs are subject to capital gains tax. The tax rate is determined by how long you held the NFT. If you held it for less than a year, it's considered a short-term capital gain and taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. If you held it for more than a year, it's a long-term capital gain and taxed at a lower rate. Remember to keep accurate records of your NFT transactions and report them properly on your tax return to stay compliant with the IRS.
