For a lot of people, learning crypto starts the same way. A question leads to a search. A search leads to a dozen tabs. And suddenly, it feels harder than it should. Crypto, Explained was built for that moment. It brings everything into one place: 101 courses and articles to learn the basics, a simulator to try using crypto risk-free, a podcast to cut through the jargon and hype plus a glossary and FAQs when you need a quick answer. No pressure to know it all. No rush to move faster than you’re ready for. Just clear, step by step guidance, in one place. Explore at nca.org/learn

When you sell or trade crypto, you’re generally subject to capital gains or loss taxes, similar to stocks. In simple terms: if the value of your crypto increased since you bought it, you may owe taxes on the profit. If it decreased, you may be able to claim a loss. 🎙️ Listen to a new episode of Crypto, Explained wherever you get your podcasts.

@OnChainAli @DigitalChamber 🙌🙌🙌

Loved learning and sharing at the @DigitalChamber Blockchain Summit this week in D.C. 📍 Crypto going mainstream in the U.S. was a hot topic (and the focus of my panel!) and the key takeaway is that policy is important for unlocking adoption - but education is an even bigger part of the equation. 55M Americans (+ counting) are already using crypto. The next step is helping more people participate with confidence.

Not all blockchains settle transactions the same way. Some finalize transactions in seconds. Others take longer based on how their networks verify and secure activity. Different structures. Different speeds. Different tradeoffs. Here’s how settlement works:

A new episode of Crypto, Explained is live! Join your crypto confidence coach @OnChainAli and special guest Trish Turner, former lead of the IRS’s digital asset division. A helpful rule of thumb: keep a clear record of your crypto transactions. If you bought it, traded it, or moved it, make sure it’s tracked. Good records make tax season much easier. 📝 Available everywhere you get your podcasts.

Filing crypto taxes for the first time can come with surprises. From how certain transactions are taxed to potential penalties during the year, there’s more to understand than many people expect. 🎙️ Listen to a new episode of Crypto, Explained tomorrow as we break it down simply with former lead of the IRS’s digital asset division, Trish Turner.

Former lead of the IRS’s digital asset division, Trish Turner (@cryptotaxgirl), shared two common misconceptions about crypto taxes with us: 1️⃣ You’re only taxed if you cash out. 2️⃣ Small crypto transactions don’t count for taxes. In reality, some crypto transactions can be taxable even if they are not converted to dollars. A de minimis rule would allow very small crypto payments to be exempt from tax reporting, but it is not broadly in place today. 🎧 Tune in Wednesday for a new episode of Crypto, Explained to learn more. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
