Flexible

You can trade with various order types: market (executed at the best available price), recurring (executed at a chosen frequency over time), or limit (executed only if the price reaches the specified level). Ask our support to place a stop-loss (sale executed only if the price drops to the specified level) or trade pairs not available in the Private Area.

Crypto-to-crypto conversions are taxable events if they involve non-homogeneous cryptocurrencies. This criterion was introduced in the 2023 budget law. The Revenue Agency clarified that converting crypto like Bitcoin or Ether into stablecoins like USDC or USDT is taxable, because these stablecoins can be converted into fiat currency by the issuer.

However, conversions of Bitcoin or Ether into DAI, DAO, or PaxGold are not taxable, as these cannot be converted into fiat currency by the issuer. Among the cryptocurrencies supported by CheckSig, only USDC is considered non-homogeneous with others.

If you’ve chosen CheckSig as your tax substitute and the conversion is taxable, we handle the substitute tax on any capital gains or record any losses for future compensations.
