    The cost basis for digital currencies on Webull refers to the original value of the assets when they were acquired. It is important because it determines the capital gains or losses when you sell or trade your digital currencies. The cost basis is used to calculate the taxable amount and report it to the tax authorities. It is recommended to keep track of the cost basis for each transaction to ensure accurate tax reporting.

    When you buy digital currencies on Webull, the cost basis is the amount you paid for them, including any fees or commissions. If you receive digital currencies as a gift or through airdrops, the cost basis is usually the fair market value at the time of acquisition. It's important to note that the cost basis can change if you sell a portion of your holdings or transfer them to another platform. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific rules and regulations regarding cost basis and tax reporting for digital currencies.
