The Holding Period Rule dictates the minimum length of time an asset must be held before it can be sold to qualify for specific tax treatments. In many jurisdictions, holding an asset for a longer duration, typically over a year, results in it being classified as a long-term capital gain, which often carries a lower tax rate. This rule influences investment behavior by encouraging investors to retain assets for extended periods. It is a critical consideration for tax planning related to digital assets.
