  As a representative of BYDFi, I can tell you that using the w8 or w9 forms in the cryptocurrency industry is a common practice. These forms help ensure compliance with tax regulations and facilitate accurate reporting of cryptocurrency transactions. The w8 form is particularly important for non-U.S. individuals or entities, as it allows them to claim a reduced rate of withholding tax. This can be beneficial in minimizing tax liabilities. On the other hand, the w9 form is necessary for U.S. individuals or entities to provide their taxpayer identification number and ensure proper tax withholding. It's always advisable to consult with a tax professional to fully understand the tax implications of using these forms in the cryptocurrency industry.
