Crypto-related taxable activity reached an estimated $500 billion globally—spanning trading gains, on-chain income, and digital payments. The Chainalysis Crypto Tax Report uses on-chain data to map this activity across regions and countries, giving tax agencies a geolocated view of potentially taxable activity in their jurisdiction and a clearer picture of its relevance to their tax base.
- Gains from asset sales on centralized and decentralized exchanges, with country-level breakdowns showing where trading activity is concentrated, how markets differ by region, and what that means for CARF (or EU’s DAC 8).
- On-chain income streams including staking, lending, mining, crypto gambling, and prediction markets, and payments linked to merchant services and P2P economic activity.
- Stablecoin payment flows, the largest and most globally distributed category, with cross-border corridor analysis and implications for both direct and indirect tax obligations.
- Case prioritization insights showing how on-chain intelligence can help tax authorities identify high-value, high-risk wallets and focus enforcement where it matters most.
