  As a representative from BYDFi, I can provide some insights into reporting capital gains from cryptocurrency transactions in a traditional IRA account. It's important to note that BYDFi is not a tax advisor, and this information should not be considered as professional tax advice. That being said, one key consideration is the use of a qualified custodian for your traditional IRA account. The IRS requires that all IRA assets, including cryptocurrency, be held by a qualified custodian. This means that you'll need to work with a custodian who is knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and can help you navigate the reporting requirements. Additionally, it's important to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions, including the cost basis and the fair market value at the time of each transaction. This will ensure that you're able to accurately report your capital gains and comply with IRS regulations. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional who specializes in cryptocurrency and traditional IRA accounts to ensure that you're meeting all of the necessary reporting requirements and maximizing your tax benefits.
