Waylon Wilcox, a trader based in Dillsburg Pennsylvania, has pleaded guilty to tax evasion after not reporting income from CryptoPunk sales, evading about $3.3 million in taxes.
Wilcox faces up to six years in prison for tax evasion and his actions highlight the increasing scrutiny on cryptocurrency and NFT transactions.
The NFT tax investigation is the first major case in the United States and emphasizes the importance of taxpayers complying with rules and tax payments.
The CryptoPunks NFT market has experienced a decline in sales volumes, but the floor price has increased to $68,800.
