  The tax implications for brokerage holdings versus brokerage cash in the context of cryptocurrency investments can vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific tax laws. However, in general, holding cryptocurrency in a brokerage account may have different tax treatment compared to holding cash. Cryptocurrency is often treated as property for tax purposes, which means that any gains or losses from its sale or exchange may be subject to capital gains tax. On the other hand, cash held in a brokerage account is typically not subject to capital gains tax. It's important to consult with a tax professional or accountant who is familiar with the tax laws in your jurisdiction to understand the specific tax implications of holding cryptocurrency versus cash in a brokerage account.
