  Gifting cryptocurrency can have tax implications, as it is considered a transfer of property. The recipient of the gift will generally assume the cost basis of the cryptocurrency at the time of the gift. If the recipient later sells the gifted cryptocurrency, they may be subject to capital gains tax based on the difference between the cost basis and the sale price. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific tax rules and implications of gifting cryptocurrency in your jurisdiction.
