NFT Gamers 

With the growing popularity of blockchain-based games and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), it’s important for gamers to understand the tax implications of owning and trading these digital assets.

NFTs in gaming can represent anything from unique in-game items like weapons, armor, and skins, to digital collectibles like cards, avatars, and even virtual real estate. Because these items can have real-world value, owning and trading them can trigger tax obligations for gamers.
