Crypto Investors

Crypto investors can benefit significantly from Opportunity Zone investing by turning volatile gains into long-term, tax-advantaged wealth. Capital gains from the sale of cryptocurrency – whether short-term or long-term – can be rolled into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) within 180 days, allowing investors to defer taxes on those gains until 2027. Even more compelling, if the Opportunity Zone investment is held for at least 10 years, any appreciation on that new investment can be excluded from capital gains tax entirely.

This strategy allows crypto investors to reduce immediate tax liability while reallocating into more stable, growth-oriented assets such as real estate or operating businesses in emerging markets, providing both diversification and a powerful long-term tax advantage.

About the Opportunity Zone Program

Qualified Opportunity Zones (OZ) were created as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

These zones were designed to spur economic development and job creation in communities throughout
the country by providing tax benefits to investors with eligible capital gains.

The OZ program incentivizes long-term investment to revitalize underserved, often underdeveloped
communities across the U.S.

Eligible Gains

Investors have 180 days from the day the capital gains event occurs to invest into a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund.

OZ Tax Benefits*

*These tax benefits are associated with the current OZ program (OZ 1.0), effective through 12/31/2026.
