EU mandates crypto transaction reporting from January 2026 under DAC8
The European Union has established regulations requiring crypto-asset service providers to report customer transactions and holdings in standardized digital format starting January 1, 2026. The rules expand the Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8) and introduce a mandatory Crypto-Asset Operator register with unique identification numbers for cross-border supervision. The framework operates alongside MiCA and upcoming anti-money laundering rules.
