DAC8: What Will Change from January 2026 for Crypto Users

DAC8: What Will Change from January '26

The EU's DAC8 directive, which requires crypto platforms to collect and report your Tax Identification Number (), is coming into effect on January 1, 2026. While the regulation affects all crypto platforms offering services to the EU residents, it doesn't require users to take any major steps at the moment. 

As a result of the DAC8 implementation, from January 1, 2026, the platforms like zondacrypto will collect specific information about you and your crypto transactions to comply with this EU-wide directive and share it with the tax authorities operating in your country of residence.

Here you will find a more detailed breakdown of DAC8.
