  The FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is a way of accounting for the order in which you sell or dispose of your cryptocurrency assets. When it comes to tax reporting, the FIFO method requires you to calculate your capital gains or losses based on the assumption that the first assets you acquired are the first ones you sold. This means that the cost basis of the first assets you purchased will be used to determine your taxable gains or losses. It's important to keep track of the dates and prices at which you acquired your cryptocurrencies to accurately apply the FIFO method for tax reporting purposes.
