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.
What does this mean? The trading activities of global crypto users will face more transparent regulation. For those with accounts in these jurisdictions, privacy will significantly diminish. 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.

Oh no, privacy is gone, everyone... 48 countries are regulating together, now there's really no escape
---
Should have stocked up more privacy coins earlier, now it's too late to regret
---
January 2026, right? Got it... need to quickly organize my accounts
---
Transparency is transparency, anyway I haven't done anything illegal... right?
---
This wave of OECD is really ruthless, transaction records must be reported, feels like being fitted with a tracker
---
The era of compliance has arrived, everyone, the wild growth is coming to an end
---
Wait, those messy transactions in my account are going to be seen? Social death is guaranteed
---
48 countries acting simultaneously, this efficiency is quite fast... a bit scary
---
Privacy shrinks, but at least there will be fewer scammers, a double-edged sword
---
I just want to know what those whales are thinking, they must be rushing to transfer funds

Haha, everyone is here, now there's really nowhere to hide.
---
So those who haven't gone on-chain yet better hurry up.
---
The era of wild growth is coming to an end, I feel a bit reluctant...
---
48 countries are watching together, this transparency is really hard to sustain.
---
Privacy has shrunk, but at least I can sleep peacefully without constantly worrying about being investigated.
---
It's OECD again, these people always want to tightly control everything.
---
I knew it would turn out like this, those who should have run early already did.
---
Good news for exchanges, anyway they can't escape, so might as well comply.
---
My small account is about to be exposed too, gg.
---
Standardization, just go ahead with it, I haven't done anything bad anyway.

Here we go again, privacy is shrinking once more. This time, do we have to report the entire account balance? Starting next year, 48 countries will participate together—you can't escape.

Damn, they're invading privacy again. By 2026, how can we, the little guys, still have secrets?
Hurry up and transfer to places where you're not yet involved, or you'll have to pay taxes obediently.
Another "compliance signal," basically meaning they want to make us all transparent. They're pushing the airdrop community to the shore.
48 countries are jointly cracking down. It seems the crypto world is really saying goodbye to the chaotic era. Let's mourn for the sentiment.
Fine, from now on, let's just wait and see who gets summoned first due to tax issues. Anyway, big players have already figured out the methods.
If you want to get along well in these places, then just give up on privacy when necessary. It's not a big deal.
