A Giant Loophole in the Global Cryptocurrency Taxation System; China's Taxable Cryptocurrency Volume is Only 1/5 of the US Figure
According to a report by Chainalysis, the global volume of potentially taxable crypto activity in the past year exceeded $457 billion, with Europe accounting for $125.1bn, the US for $112.6bn, and China for $21bn. A significant 86% of this global activity—including peer-to-peer transfers, decentralized exchange (DEX) trading, income from staking, mining, lending, and crypto payments—falls outside the scope of the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), which is set to begin implementation in 2027. CARF only covers activity on centralized exchanges and some wallet providers.
While frameworks like CARF and the EU's DAC8 directive aim to improve tax reporting, they face challenges like a lack of comprehensive user data and non-universal adoption. Furthermore, mandatory data collection raises serious privacy and security concerns. The article cites France, where data leaks from tax authorities have been linked to a sharp increase in physical attacks on crypto asset holders.
