The majority of crypto customers still don’t understand how crypto is taxed, mistakenly believing simple transfers trigger tax events. Related Reading: Hyperliquid’s Tokyo Edge Exposed — Secret Time Gap Is Tilting The Market Well intended crypto-tax confusion Although most crypto investors intend to comply with tax law, major confusion reigns amongst traders about cost basis, taxable events and evolving IRS regulations, Coinbase’s new 2026 Crypto Tax Readiness Report shows. The survey was conducted between September and October 2025, with a population of 3.000 U.S. crypto users. Related Reading: Hyperliquid’s Tokyo Edge Exposed — Secret Time Gap Is Tilting The Market Regulators are ramping up enforcement and data collection while retail users remain confused about what is actually a taxable event and how to track it across wallets, CEXs and DeFi. The legislation evolves way too fast for users to keep track, with 61% of the surveyed users reporting they were unaware of specific tax rules slayed for 2025 tax year reporting. Under current U.S. rules, most crypto is treated as property, which means selling, trading, swapping into another coin, or even paying fees can trigger capital gains or losses that must be reported. However, only 49% of crypto users correctly understand that a tax event is triggered anytime crypto is sold, with 22% of them falling under the misconception that a simple transfer to other accounts is taxable. The graphic shows users knowledge regarding taxable crypto taxations. Source: Coinbase’s 2026 Crypto Tax Readiness Report. “The story this data tells is one of uncertainty”, Lawrence Zlatkin, Vice President of Tax at Coinbase said, “Users are struggling to navigate the complexities of crypto taxation”. Brokers like Coinbase will now send standardized forms (1099‑DA) reporting proceeds, but they cannot see every DeFi or DEX leg in a strategy, leaving many users with forms that show large gross figures and no context unless they use specialized tax software. On average, users juggle 2.5 platforms or wallets, and 83% rely on self‑custody, which creates a cost‑basis reconciliation headache that most still haven’t figured out. The graphic shows users relationship with cost-basis. Source: Coinbase’s 2026 Crypto Tax Readiness Report. What This Means For Traders If regulators double down on enforcement while the average user remains lost, the result could be overpayment, under‑reporting risk, or simply less on‑chain activity as people retreat to “safe” buy‑and‑hold behavior, all of which reshape liquidity and volatility.

A key technical setup is unfolding on the XRP price chart, as market analyst Egrag Crypto has flagged a recurring historical chart pattern that has previously marked the cryptocurrency’s market bottom. The analysis indicates that this critical pattern, known as the 5D Bottoming Blueprint, has also previously triggered a renewed upward trend for XRP after major lows. Its reappearance is seen as a potential signal that XRP’s prolonged bear phase may be ending even as the cryptocurrency continues to face bearish headwinds and price volatility. XRP Price Repeats Historic 5D Bottoming Pattern On March 29, Egrag Crypto stated on X that XRP is closely mirroring a historic bottoming sequence from 2022. The structure, mapped across a 5-day timeframe, suggests that XRP may be in the final stages of its prolonged corrective phase. According to the analysis, the 5D Bottoming Blueprint is defined by two key phases. The first occurs when the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crosses above the 200 EMA. After which, a sharp corrective pullback occurs, marking XRP’s price floor. Related Reading: If Bitcoin Should Be Worth $280,000 Right Now, What’s The Real Value Of Dogecoin And XRP? Back in mid-2022, the exact pattern emerged in the XRP chart. The 21 EMA crossed over the 200 EMA and was later accompanied by a significant price correction of approximately 14.66%. After the correction played out over roughly 4 bars on the 5-day chart, translating to 20 calendar days, XRP established its market bottom. From that low, the cryptocurrency’s bearish phase ended, and its price began a sustained upward trend to new highs. Although XRP appears to be repeating the same historic bottoming sequence in the current cycle, Egrag Crypto still questions whether the present structure would mirror the 2022 pattern’s behavior and timing exactly. The analyst noted that XRP’s 21 EMA has already crossed above the 200 EMA. The cryptocurrency has also undergone a 14% correction, matching the decline seen in 2022. At present, XRP’s bar count is aligning with the same 4-bar historic pattern, which suggests the cryptocurrency could see a potential price bottom in 20 calendar days. Egrag Crypto has marked the key decision window as April 16 on the chart. The key level to watch sits around $1.15, which is the primary bottoming target for XRP’s ongoing corrective move. Egrag Crypto has also highlighted $0.93 as another potential support level, which could serve as the next downside target if the price fails to hold above $1.15.The chart shows the possibility of a deeper correction, with XRP potentially establishing a price floor near $0.73 if it drops below $0.93. If bearish momentum continues, XRP could even decline further to the white trendline near the bottom of the chart, around $0.42. Related Reading: What Every XRP Holder Must Understand As Activity Wanes XRP Eyes Bullish Reversal After Price Bottom After establishing a market bottom, Egrag Crypto expects XRP to start a bullish reversal. He forecasted that the cryptocurrency could first reclaim the $1.60 level, officially marking the end of the corrective phase and the start of a renewed upward trend. Following this, the analyst expects XRP to climb back toward $2.05. A clean break above this level would serve as the confirmation signal that XRP’s broader expansion phase could be underway, opening a potential path toward $3.02 and beyond.
