  The cost basis of digital assets on Webull can be affected by several factors. Firstly, the purchase price of the asset plays a significant role. If you buy a digital asset at a higher price, it will increase your cost basis. On the other hand, if you buy at a lower price, it will decrease your cost basis. Additionally, any transaction fees or commissions incurred during the purchase or sale of the asset will also impact the cost basis. Lastly, if you receive any dividends or distributions from the asset, they may need to be included in the cost basis calculation. Webull uses a specific formula to calculate the cost basis, taking into account these factors and any adjustments required by tax regulations.

  When it comes to the cost basis of digital assets on Webull, it's important to consider the timing of your transactions. If you engage in frequent buying and selling of digital assets, it can complicate the cost basis calculation. Webull uses the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method by default, which means that the cost basis of the first asset you purchased will be used for the first asset you sell. This can have tax implications, especially if the price of the asset has significantly increased or decreased since you bought it. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are accurately calculating your cost basis.
