  One of the best strategies to minimize capital gains tax on gifted cryptocurrencies is to hold onto them for at least one year. By doing so, you may qualify for long-term capital gains tax rates, which are usually lower than short-term rates. This can help reduce the tax burden when you decide to sell or trade the gifted cryptocurrencies. However, it's important to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific tax laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

  Another strategy is to consider donating the gifted cryptocurrencies to a qualified charitable organization. In some countries, such donations can be tax-deductible, allowing you to offset the capital gains tax liability. Before making any donations, make sure to research and comply with the tax laws and regulations related to cryptocurrency donations in your country.
