  Venmo treats cryptocurrency transactions like any other taxable event. If you buy, sell, or trade cryptocurrencies on Venmo, you may receive a tax form called a 1099-K if you meet certain thresholds. This form reports your gross transaction volume, but it's important to note that it doesn't provide cost basis information. To accurately report your cryptocurrency gains and losses, you may need to rely on your own transaction history and records.
