Avalanche (AVAX) and its DeFi ecosystem in Spain

AVAX staking:

  • Validator (min 2,000 AVAX): Locked AVAX not taxable; validation rewards = capital income
  • Delegation (min 25 AVAX): Lockup not taxable; rewards at period end = capital income

DeFi on Avalanche C-Chain (EVM-compatible, same rules as Ethereum):

  • Trader Joe swaps: capital gain/loss
  • Joe V2 LP provision: not taxable at deposit; income at withdrawal
  • Benqi lending: qiAVAX deposit not taxable; accumulated interest = capital income at withdrawal

GMX: Trading gains = capital gains. GLP staking income = capital income.

kointax connects to Avalanche C-Chain wallets and imports all DeFi history.
