  Unfortunately, there are no specific exemptions for cryptocurrency transactions in the 1099-K form. The form is designed to report payment transactions and does not distinguish between different types of assets. Therefore, if you engage in cryptocurrency transactions that meet the reporting threshold set by the IRS, you will need to include them on the 1099-K form.
