Tether (USDT) Tax Guide
Tether taxes: trading, stablecoin usage and capital gains in Europe.
How is Tether taxed?
Tether (USDT) is the most widely used stablecoin and is taxed like any cryptocurrency in Europe. While USDT aims to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US dollar, every trade involving USDT is technically a taxable event. Converting crypto to USDT is a disposal, not a tax-free parking of funds.
Stablecoin trading and tax implications
Many traders mistakenly believe converting to USDT avoids taxes. In Europe, swapping any crypto for USDT is a taxable disposal. Additionally, minor USDT depeg events can create small but reportable gains or losses. USDT lending on DeFi platforms generates taxable interest income.
