Germany delays scrapping one-year crypto holding period
- —The draft law abolishing the one-year holding period remains stuck in inter-ministerial consultation
- —More than 44,000 people backed the petition against the reform
- —At least 12 Bundestag lawmakers have spoken out against the change
- —Assets bought before 2027 would keep tax-free status under the current draft
Why it matters: Keeping the one-year holding period lets German investors sell bitcoin tax-free, supporting demand for long-term holding.
