He explains that every token-to-token swap or small purchase triggers a capital gains event, now tracked via the daunting Form 1099-DA.

It explains how this legal shift is clearing the path for massive institutional investment and new Spot ETFs, while simultaneously navigating the complex new IRS reporting requirements. The piece concludes by showing how a Self-Directed IRA through iTrustCapital allows investors to capture these historic gains while deferring taxes and completely bypassing the paperwork nightmare of individual trade reporting.
