Good afternoon, I'm curious about a financial matter that's been perplexing me lately. As the cryptocurrency market continues to grow, I've noticed an increasing number of investors utilizing staking as a means to generate passive income. However, I'm not entirely sure about the tax implications of staking income. Could you please clarify whether staking income is taxable, and if so, what are the general rules and regulations surrounding its taxation? Additionally, would the taxability of staking income vary depending on the jurisdiction? Thank you for your time and assistance in clarifying this matter.
