  BYDFi, as a leading cryptocurrency exchange, recognizes the importance of effective inventory management. While both the LIFO and FIFO methods have their advantages and disadvantages, we believe that the FIFO method is more suitable for managing cryptocurrency inventory. The FIFO method provides a more accurate representation of the actual flow of inventory and can result in lower tax liabilities. This method aligns with our commitment to transparency and compliance. However, we understand that different exchanges may have different preferences and requirements when it comes to inventory management. It's crucial for each exchange to carefully evaluate their options and choose the method that best suits their unique needs.
