#密码资产动态追踪 The era of cryptocurrency tax information sharing has truly arrived

Starting January 1, 2026, the Global Cryptocurrency Information Automatic Exchange Mechanism (CARF) will officially begin data collection. Driven by the OECD, these rules mean that tax transparency in the cryptocurrency sector has moved from concept to reality. Recent announcements from major leading trading platforms have made it clear for many for the first time—the path of compliance is no longer reversible.

How does it work? From 2026, platforms registered in the Cayman Islands, the EU, and other initial 48 jurisdictions will begin collecting users' tax identities and all transaction details. By 2027, this data will be transmitted through an automatic exchange system from local tax authorities to the tax departments of users' home countries. The data flow forms a complete chain—platform → local tax bureau → user's national tax bureau—making encrypted transactions no longer hidden.

This has the most direct impact on Chinese investors. Your transaction records on trading platforms in 2026 will be reported by Cayman entities to the Cayman tax authorities and then synchronized to China's tax department through the automatic exchange system. In other words, your trading activities will be incorporated into the domestic tax supervision system. The era of "tax information vacuum" is officially over.

The deeper implication of CARF's implementation is clear: tax transparency in the crypto space is a settled matter. Investors need to quickly review their transaction compliance; trading platforms must accelerate the improvement of data reporting and compliance services. Global tax cooperation is becoming more in-depth, and the era of unregulated growth in the cryptocurrency industry is over. From now on, those who can achieve compliance will hold the competitive advantage. $BTC
