Significant tax loss harvesting activity appears to be underway in crypto portfolios. Year-end positions are being rebalanced strategically, with investors locking in losses to offset capital gains. This seasonal pattern typically intensifies as the trading year winds down. The move reflects sophisticated portfolio management—traders are actively realizing losses on underwater positions while maintaining their overall market exposure through strategic reallocation. It's a common tax optimization tactic, but the scale this year suggests widespread profit-taking and position consolidation across the crypto market.

Selling off and cashing out too much at the end of the year, this move looks like a shakeout.

The consultation records show that this end-of-year sell-off phenomenon is indeed somewhat concentrated. But I have to say—this kind of seasonal operation itself is not a disease; the issue is how much of it is driven by genuine risk exits and how much is purely for tax optimization. Liquidity indicators need to be continuously monitored, as large-scale position consolidation can easily trigger chain reactions. It is recommended to regularly review wallet outflow data.

End-of-year sell-off show, same routine every year, no need to pretend to be professional

The end-of-year cut-loss season is here, and I knew these folks would start playing the loss hedging game again.

Here comes the excuse to cut the leeks again, hypocritical
