Coinbase cancels margin trading, updates tax form – CoinGeek
Coinbase has disabled its margin trading service, and is also switching out the tax form they send to their users come tax season. According to two new blog posts from the company, the move to cancel margin trading was induced by guidance that the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) released in March, and the move to change the tax form was caused by the IRS misinterpreting the previous form Coinbase users were required to send in (1099-k).
