on January 6, 2026, new tax reporting rules for cryptocurrency transactions officially went into effect in 48 countries. These standards, developed as part of an initiative by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), aim to increase transparency in the cryptocurrency sector and combat tax evasion.

According to the new requirements, all cryptocurrency exchanges and services are obliged to collect and transfer information on user transactions, including data on purchases, sales and transfers of digital assets, to tax authorities. This applies to both individuals and companies operating with cryptocurrencies on the territory of participating countries.

The implementation of the standards covers more than 60% of the global cryptocurrency market, which significantly increases the level of control and reporting. It is expected that the new rules will affect more than 200 million users and thousands of companies around the world.

Experts note that the introduction of unified reporting rules will reduce the risks of illegal transactions and increase confidence in the market of digital assets. At the same time, users are advised to familiarize themselves with the new requirements and submit tax reports in a timely manner to avoid penalties and legal consequences.
