But where most investors see red, 99Bitcoins tax strategists see an opening and a narrow year-end window for crypto tax-loss harvesting. Meanwhile, President Trump might eliminate income taxes soon; here’s what you need to know.

What is Tax-Loss Harvesting and Why Does It Matter for Crypto?
Crypto occupies a unique place in the tax code. Because cryptocurrencies are classified as property rather than securities, wash-sale rules that restrict stock traders from immediately rebuying sold assets do not currently apply. The result is a loophole that allows traders to realize losses for tax purposes without exiting the market.
If you bought $2,000 worth of crypto and it is now worth $1,000, selling before December 31 locks in a $1,000 loss. That loss can offset realized gains elsewhere, then up to $3,000 in ordinary income, with the remainder carried forward indefinitely. It’s cool beans!

CoinGecko data shows that more than 65% of top-100 assets are trading below their 90-day moving averages.
Glassnode’s short-term holder SOPR dipped below 1.0 this week, signaling that the majority of recent sellers exited at a loss, which is fertile ground for harvesting.

Additionally, DeFi Llama reports a -7% week-over-week decline in aggregate TVL, consistent with capital rotation into cash positions ahead of tax deadlines.
All these indicators suggest that December will be dominated by strategic selling rather than panic selling.

Trump No Income Tax Plan: POTUS Tax Bombshell Throws a Curveball
In a surprising twist, President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that Americans may soon “not even have income tax to pay,” arguing that tariff-driven revenue could allow the federal government to abolish taxes on income entirely.
“At some point in the not too distant future you won’t even have income tax to pay.” – Donald Trump
While Trump’s base is celebrating the announcement – OMG TRUMP ALREADY DID THIS! – Many Americans are waiting to see if the tax cut materializes first.
Trump says the $2,000 tariff dividend is likely coming next year, on top of record tax refunds. He even believes the income tax will be abolished for most Americans. If he pulls this off, it will be one of the biggest financial wins for working people in decades. pic.twitter.com/ApeV6VzFxn

It’s another example of TDS at its finest. MAGA has already enshrined Trump as a Hercules-like figure, who can accomplish nearly anything by merely willing it so.
But can Trump unilaterally cancel income taxes? No, that requires an Act of Congress. But the President is so fixated on Trump and cowers so shamefully before his perceived godlike powers that this may as well already have happened.
So, anyway, don’t count on income tax cuts and prioritize something real like tax-loss harvesting instead.
