Altseason 2025 is Here, Here’s What Investors Need to Watch Out For

Altseason, the magical time when your memecoins 10x, obscure tokens pump out of nowhere, and every group chat turns into a trading room. But before you get too deep into the green candles, there are a few things every smart investor should take care of.

What Is Altseason (And Are We Really in One)?

Altseason refers to a period in the crypto market when altcoins (everything that’s not Bitcoin) outperform, often aggressively. It usually follows or coincides with Bitcoin moving sideways or hitting new highs, causing capital to rotate into smaller-cap tokens.

And based on:

• ETH/BTC ratio climbing

• BTC dominance dipping

• Solana memecoins making millionaires overnight,

it’s safe to say: Altseason 2025 is HERE.

What Investors Need to Watch Out For

• Every Swap = A Taxable Event

Swapping $PEPE for $BONK 43 times in a weekend? That’s 43 taxable events , even if you never cashed out to fiat.

Tip: Use a crypto tax tracking tool, or better yet, talk to a crypto CPA before it’s April and you're panicking.

• Reinvesting Profits ≠ No Taxes

Just because you rolled your $10K gains into the next token doesn’t mean Uncle Sam forgets. You owe taxes on realized gains , not what’s in your wallet now.

• Take Profits. Really.

Altseason is emotional. You feel like a genius. Then one cascade later, you're asking, "Wen support?" Set targets. Take profits. Move some to stablecoins.

• Tax-Loss Harvesting Is Your Friend

If you made gains on $SOL but are still holding a bag of $LUNA from 2022, you can use that to offset taxes. But only if you do it right.

• Track Your Basis

If you don’t know how much you paid for your tokens, your tax report is going to guess. And that guess? Usually not in your favor.

Tips for Founders, Traders & Power Users

Founders: Token launches, airdrops, DAO distributions, all need clean documentation.

Traders: Structure your wallets, track bridging activity, and avoid getting wrecked by layer 2 confusion.

Stakers & Farmers: Passive income isn’t always passive in tax terms — reward tokens often count as income at the time of receipt.

Altseason is fun. Taxes? Not so much. But with smart planning, you can enjoy the run and avoid the April panic. Whether you're a memecoin degen or a DAO founder, Accuracy Advisory is here to help you navigate crypto profits without getting buried in tax stress
