  Yes, there can be a gift tax on cryptocurrency transfers. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so if you give someone cryptocurrency as a gift and its value exceeds the annual gift tax exclusion amount, you may be subject to gift tax. The annual exclusion amount for 2021 is $15,000 per recipient. If the value of the gift exceeds this amount, you will need to file a gift tax return. However, it's important to consult with a tax professional for specific advice based on your situation.

  No, there is no gift tax on cryptocurrency transfers. Cryptocurrency is considered a decentralized digital currency and is not subject to the same regulations as traditional currencies. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with any applicable tax laws in your jurisdiction.
