Bundestag approves CARF crypto data exchange with non-EU states

—CDU/CSU, SPD, the Greens and Die Linke backed the bill; only AfD opposed it
—Reported data includes name, address, tax ID, birth date, asset type and gross volumes
—Reporting covers gross transaction amounts, not user profits
—DAC 8 covers the EU, while CARF closes the gap with third countries

Why it matters: German holders of crypto on foreign exchanges lose tax anonymity, with data collection already underway in 2026.
