Crypto Selloff Driven by $25 Billion Capital Gain Hit

Selling pressure in cryptocurrencies could ease after tax day.
The April 15 income-tax filing deadline is contributing to crypto’s falling prices as investors who won big betting on the digital tokens sell some of their remaining holdings to pay $25 billion in capital-gains levies, Tom Lee, the head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, wrote in a note Thursday. Bitcoin dropped more than 40 percent over the past month, including a 2.4 percent decline on Thursday to $6,664 as of 9:39 a.m. in New York.
“This is a massive outflow from crypto to dollars,” Lee wrote. “Historical estimates are each $1 of USD outflow is $20-$25 impact on crypto market value.”
Tom LeePhotographer: Chris Goodney Lee says that $25 billion prediction -- derived from his estimate that U.S. households had $92 billion in taxable gains from cryptocurrencies in 2017 -- would represent 20 percent of capital-gains tax receipts to the U.S. Treasury. He estimates total capital gains receipts will hit a record $168 billion for tax-year 2017.
A crypto bull who maintains a year-end price target on Bitcoin of $25,000, Lee sees the selling pressure passing. |

wonder why he thinks the next alt bull run will be in mid-august. seems oddly specific |

That they both occassionally interview someone who has a clue doesn't change that. CNBC, too, has had multiple interviews with Olaf, Armstrong, Ehrsam, and the rest of the Coinbase coterie. |
