How to sell crypto: a beginner's guide

Last reviewed:

Selling crypto means trading it back for regular money or for another asset. It can happen on an exchange, through an app or with another person. In the U.S., a sale is usually a taxable event, so the IRS expects you to report any gain or loss. Fees, delays and scams can all affect what you actually receive.
