Global Crypto Reporting Expands As 48 Countries Prep For CARF 2027
A coordinated effort among 48 jurisdictions to implement the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) has begun, with standardized crypto transaction and user data collection starting January 1, 2026. The first automatic cross-border exchanges between tax authorities are expected in 2027. Service providers, including exchanges, brokers, and crypto ATMs, must collect account details, transaction histories, and users’ tax residency information. This framework aims to enhance tax transparency and enforcement of existing rules, not create new taxes. While larger platforms are adapting systems, smaller ones face operational burdens, and privacy concerns have been raised regarding data storage and access. An additional 27 jurisdictions plan to begin collection in 2027, with exchanges following in 2028. For users, this means more detailed onboarding processes and clearer record-keeping requirements from providers.
