๐ฌ๐ง From January 1, 2026, the European directive DAC 8 will come into effect. It imposes an obligation on all European cryptocurrency platforms to automatically transmit information regarding their users' accounts and transactions to tax authorities.
๐ Specifically, the French tax authorities will have access to all your cryptocurrency transactions conducted on European platforms.
๐ Until now, this data was only transmitted in cases of suspected money laundering or terrorist financing. The goal now is to combat fraud and tax evasion.
๐จ Experts warn of an increased risk of data leaks, and consequently, threats to user security (robberies, kidnappings).
