The answer is yes. When you exchange one stablecoin for another, such as trading USDC for DAI or USDT for BUSD, it is regarded as a taxable occurrence.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) views this type of transaction as a property-for-property trade. Even if the difference in value between the two stablecoins is minimal, it is still considered a taxable event.

It is crucial to report any gains or losses incurred from such exchanges to the IRS. Failure to do so may result in non-compliance with tax regulations.
