Crypto Tax Services will Peak as Regularity Concerns Rise
The interest of payment giants such as PayPal which itself ventured into the crypto world very recently could prove to be a great booster for the startup. On the other hand, TaxBit would also help PayPal a great deal in automating crypto taxation for millions of consumers on its platform.
The rise of cryptocurrency as an alternative investment market with over $1 trillion market cap has also created a parallel service industry that ranges from crypto staking, crypto custody, and now crypto taxation. The demand for such services would only grow as more number of countries starts bringing in regulations around digital assets and many already have including South Korea which imposed a 20% tax on crypto while in the US, the banking regulator OCC noded for the use of stable coins and blockchain by federal banks.
