  When it comes to futures trading of digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, taxes are applied in a similar way as with other financial instruments. The profits made from futures trading are subject to capital gains tax. This means that if you make a profit from your futures trades, you will need to report it as income and pay taxes on the gains. The specific tax rate will depend on your jurisdiction and your income bracket. It's important to keep track of your trades and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with the tax regulations in your country.
