    At BYDFi, we recommend using the FIFO accounting method for cryptocurrency transactions. This method aligns with the general principles of accounting and provides a clear and transparent approach to calculating gains or losses. FIFO is widely accepted and recognized by tax authorities, making it a reliable choice for reporting purposes. However, it's important to note that the choice of accounting method ultimately depends on your specific circumstances and preferences. We always advise consulting with a tax professional or accountant to ensure compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations.
