Uniswap (UNI) Tax Guide
Uniswap taxes: trading, governance, DeFi and capital gains in Europe.
How is Uniswap taxed?
Uniswap (UNI) is the governance token of the largest decentralized exchange. It is taxed like any cryptocurrency in Europe. Every sale or trade of UNI generates a taxable event. If you received UNI from the 2020 airdrop, it was taxable as income at the time of receipt.
Airdrop and governance
The UNI airdrop of 400 tokens to early users was a taxable event in most European countries. The value at the time of receipt forms the cost basis. Participating in Uniswap governance does not itself create taxable events, but selling governance rewards does.
