You can find this toggle under Settings -> Portfolio & Tax section. Switching this toggle might change the results of your Capital Gains Report. The default setting depends on your tax jurisdiction. The choice of settings may impact your tax liability, so it's essential to consult with your accountant or local tax professionals about your situation before making any changes.

When the toggle is switched on, all your crypto-to-crypto trades are non-taxable. The cost base of the sell side of the asset will be transferred to the buy side of the asset. See the example below:
