  Trading cryptocurrencies on Robinhood instead of treasury bonds can have tax implications that you should be aware of. The IRS considers cryptocurrencies as property, so any gains or losses from trading are subject to capital gains tax. This means that if you sell cryptocurrencies at a profit, you will need to report the gains on your tax return and pay taxes on them. The tax rate will depend on how long you held the cryptocurrencies before selling. If you held them for less than a year, the gains will be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. If you held them for more than a year, the gains will be taxed at a lower capital gains tax rate. It's important to keep track of your trades and consult with a tax advisor to ensure you are compliant with tax regulations.
