This is an insane assertion. One of the main points of an IRA is that the trades within it aren't taxable events. Trades made outside an IRA are taxable events.

I understand the difference. All I meant is that in an IRA the trades are not taxed but the withdrawals are.

But I see the point here regarding a cash proxy.

Full disclosure: I have zero exposure to crypto. Not my cup of tea.
