  Yes, even if you haven't traded your cryptocurrencies, you may still have tax obligations. In many countries, including the United States, holding cryptocurrencies is considered an investment, and any increase in value may be subject to capital gains tax when you sell or exchange them. It's important to consult with a tax professional or accountant to understand the specific tax laws in your jurisdiction.
