Crypto capital-gains tax in Delaware

Delaware taxes income above a $2,000 exempt threshold at rates from 2.2% to 6.6%, with the same brackets for all filing statuses; the top rate applies above $60,000. A 2025 law restructuring the brackets with new 6.75% and 6.95% top rates takes effect in 2026, not 2025. Wilmington levies a separate 1.25% local wage tax not included here.

Common questions

How is crypto taxed in Delaware?
At the federal level, crypto is property and gains are taxed as short- or long-term capital gains. At the state level, Delaware taxes crypto capital gains as ordinary income — the same rate as your wages, with no long-term discount.
Does Delaware have a lower rate for long-term crypto gains?
No — unlike the federal system, Delaware does not give long-term gains a preferential state rate; they're taxed the same as short-term gains.
