From what I have heard from crypto people in the US, you have to pay for capital tax gains if you purchased crypto and made profits from it then you should really try and get it done as quickly as possible so they don't come to you later on. In other countries filing for capital isn't that necessary or not even required but in US, its mandated. I know there's a way to waiver it or reduce it but I'm not sure how. Maybe someone in crypto based in US can clarify more
Unfortunately I don't have friends in the US, so I can't find out more about this, and if it's something that crypto players have to obey, then it's okay to follow the rules that have been made, because in my country, it does not apply.
