Unsellable NFT app launched to help with tax write-offs

In the NFT (nonfungible token) space, things are so bad that collectors are now selling them as tax write-offs.

NFT holders are increasingly unloading their digital collectibles. Some tax experts now recommend harvesting losses made by “worthless NFTs”.

Selling at a loss can create tax write-offs that can reduce annual income tax bills. Tax loss harvesting has become a key strategy this year as crypto and stock markets.

Strategic selling at a loss can offset gains from other investments. Experienced investors use this strategy throughout the year to avoid accumulating excessive taxable gains.

Furthermore, a new website has been launched to help with the sale of unsellable NFTs.

Selling worthless NFTs

Recently launched website Unsellable claims to help those with NFTs that have plummeted in value. It noted that tax loss harvesting can become problematic when NFTs are included.

“While every investment class has its losers, many of the NFTs we invested in were not just large; they were now totally worthless … illiquid … unsaleable.”

The website was created to provide liquidity to NFTs that cannot otherwise be sold. The platform buys tokens for pennies and provides the official receipt for tax purposes. Furthermore, it retains all tokens to build “The Unsellable Collection” to become the “ultimate artifact from the early days of web3.”

In addition, the collection is listed on OpenSea and contains 38 items. The most expensive, “Impermanent Digital #3238”, is listed for 0.299 ETH (about $354, so not completely worthless).

The platform charges a transaction fee of 0.0032 ETH plus gas. It offers 0.0000064 ETH (about $0.01) for every NFT it buys. However, the product is the tax receipt that can lead to significant savings.

Crypto taxes can be a minefield, so Unsellable recommends using a crypto-competent CPA.

Non-Workable Token Market Prospects

NFTs have been hit this year along with the broader crypto market. The Nonfungible.com market tracker showed around $86,868 in NFT sales on November 28th. By comparison, this number was over $100 million per day this time last year.

The number of sales has dropped from around 125,000 per day in November 2021 to just 10,000 per day currently.

The most popular pool this past week has been BAYC, with $20 million in secondary sales, according to CryptoSlam.
