  One of the best methods to determine the cost basis of digital currencies is the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method. This method assumes that the first digital currencies you acquired are the first ones you sell or exchange. By keeping track of the date and price of each acquisition, you can calculate the cost basis of your digital currencies accurately. This method is widely used and accepted by tax authorities.
