  From a tax perspective, holding uninvested cash in cryptocurrencies can have implications. In many countries, cryptocurrencies are treated as property for tax purposes. This means that any increase in the value of the cryptocurrency while it is held as uninvested cash may be subject to capital gains tax when it is eventually sold or exchanged for another cryptocurrency or fiat currency. It's important to keep track of the cost basis of the cryptocurrency and any changes in its value during the holding period to accurately calculate the tax liability.
