Starting January 1st, DAC8 is officially in effect across the EU, and it’s a real revolution. If you live in a member state, the days of going unnoticed with your wallets are officially over. What’s at stake: 1) Mandatory Reporting: All exchanges are now legally required to send your name, tax ID, and all your transactions directly to the government. 2) No Place to Hide: They are tracking crypto to fiat transfers, crypto to crypto, and even those transfers to your "private" Ledger or Trezor. They see everything. 3) KYC or Leave: If you don’t provide your tax identification, exchanges must freeze your account and block your funds immediately! 4) Global Repression: Even exchanges outside the EU need to cooperate or risk being banned from the European market. Basically, tax authorities have just gained a high-tech dashboard to track all your assets in real time. Data collection for 2026 is already underway. If you’re still not thinking about privacy, you’re already behind. This is the new reality. 📉🇪🇺
