Hello, I am a crypto investor and I would like to know if swapping cryptocurrencies is taxable. I understand that buying and selling cryptocurrencies is taxable, but I'm not sure about swapping. Could you please clarify this for me? Also, if swapping is taxable, how should I calculate the tax on it? Should I consider the difference between the swapped cryptocurrencies' market values as taxable income? Or should I calculate it based on some other metric? Thank you for your help.
