TokenTax tops the US crypto-tax EPC ranking on volume-weighted base payout. The Premium ($199) tier drives most affiliate-driven volume, but the Pro ($1,599) and VIP ($3,499+) tiers each generate one conversion worth 8-17x a Premium signup — mix-weighted base lands at $60. The cohort's highest single-conversion economics despite commission opacity.
Pros
- Highest mix-weighted base_payout in the US cohort ($60 vs. cohort median ~$35)
- VIP CPA-filed tier ($3,499+) is unique in the cohort and generates outlier conversions
- Deepest DeFi/NFT/derivatives coverage in the cohort
- Strong audit-defense reputation reduces post-1099-DA editorial risk
Cons
- Affiliate commission rate undisclosed — opacity is a credibility cost
- Premium pricing limits volume; cohort traffic skews toward cheaper alternatives
- Cookie window not publicly published

Programs that stopped paying, restructured into unrecognisable forms, or pulled US support remain catalogued — so the rankings stay honest about what disappeared and why. MyForexFunds (Aug 2023, CFTC action). MFFU (rebrand, Dec 2024).
