In January 2026, there will be major changes in crypto taxation. The Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) launched by the OECD will be officially implemented, including 48 countries and regions such as the UK and the EU.

What is the core content? Platforms will start collecting user information—tax residency, account balances, transaction records—all data that cannot be avoided. After collection, they must report it, and through cross-border tax exchange mechanisms, share it between countries.

Many industry insiders believe this is a sign of tightening global tax regulation, indicating a shift in the crypto industry from wild growth to standardized operation.
