  Yes, crypto exchanges are required to report user transactions to the IRS. This is because the IRS considers cryptocurrencies as property, and any gains or losses from their sale or exchange are subject to taxation. Therefore, exchanges must provide information about user transactions, including the amount and date of each transaction, to ensure accurate tax reporting.
