#比特币流动性 The EU's crypto regulation has taken another step forward. DAC8 (Digital Asset Tax Transparency Regulation) has been finalized and will officially come into effect on January 1, 2026. This means the entire European crypto asset market will be fully integrated into a high-intensity tax regulation system.

In simple terms, this new regulation is an upgraded version of the existing tax cooperation framework — for the first time, it includes all crypto assets and service providers. Trading platforms, brokers, and other institutions will need to collect user identity, transaction records, asset status, and other information, then regularly report to their national tax authorities. More importantly, this data will be automatically shared among EU member states, significantly increasing transparency.

For users, compliance costs will clearly rise. Once suspected of tax evasion or avoidance, regulatory authorities can coordinate cross-border actions to freeze or confiscate assets easily, even if your assets or accounts are in other countries. Many industry insiders believe that DAC8 will fundamentally change Europe's crypto ecosystem — the trend toward compliance is already unstoppable, and there's no turning back.

From the original intention of decentralization, this road is still long.
