Blockchain analysis company Chainalysis estimates that France's potential taxable cryptocurrency activity will reach $9.4 billion by 2025, including $5.2 billion from payments, $2.5 billion from capital gains, and $1.7 billion from mining and staking income. French taxpayers reported only €368 million in net income for the 2024 fiscal year, involving about 24,000 people, an increase from approximately 7,700 people and €150.8 million in the previous year.Chainalysis stated that the non-compliance rate for cryptocurrency taxes in some countries may exceed 90%. The EU's eighth directive on administrative cooperation, DAC8, came into effect on January 1, 2026, requiring cryptocurrency service providers to collect user identity and transaction data. Tax authorities in member states will start exchanging relevant records cross-border from September 30, 2027; CARF currently covers about 14% of the world's potential taxable on-chain activities.
