  W8 and W9 are not specific terms related to cryptocurrencies. W8 and W9 are actually tax forms used in the United States. W8 is a form used by non-U.S. individuals or entities to certify their foreign status, while W9 is used by U.S. individuals or entities to provide their taxpayer identification number. These forms are used for tax reporting purposes and are not directly related to cryptocurrencies.
