“Las ganancias obtenidas por la enajenación de monedas digitales se encuentran alcanzadas por el Impuesto a las Ganancias, aplicándose la alícuota del 15% cuando la operación se realiza en moneda extranjera o la del 5% cuando se realiza en pesos sin cláusula de ajuste. Asimismo, las tenencias de criptomonedas integran la base imponible del Impuesto sobre los Bienes Personales al valuarse al 31 de diciembre de cada año.” — AFIP (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos)
