Capital gains represent the profit obtained from the sale of an asset that has increased in worth. For digital assets, this typically occurs when a cryptocurrency is sold for a greater sum than its initial acquisition price. These gains are generally subject to taxation in most regions, affecting an investor’s net returns. Grasping capital gains is essential for individuals and organizations engaging with digital asset investments.
