The EU is preparing a registry of crypto holders; French tax officials’ data leak

CoinNetwork
Crypto界消息. The EU is compiling a registry of crypto holders (DAC8, effective from January). A French case shows that tax officials have been selling investor data to kidnapping gangs from January 2026. Every crypto exchange and broker serving EU residents is collecting customer documents for the tax authorities, including name, address, date of birth, tax ID, and total annual trading value. Transfers to addresses that the platform cannot recognize will also be reported, with self-custody withdrawals marked. By 2027, these documents will begin circulating among the tax authorities of 27 member states. While the system is lawful for fiscal purposes and the data is not public, its closed nature is being questioned. Records show that Ledger was hacked in 2020, leaking home addresses of 270,000 customers. Coinbase was bribed in 2025, and KYC files for about 70,000 users were stolen. A French tax officer was detained for selling query results. In 2019, Bulgaria leaked the tax records of almost every adult. Self-custodied crypto assets are confiscated along with the person who holds them; understanding deposits and hardware wallets helps both fraudsters and kidnappers.
