Germany Drafts 25% Crypto Gains Tax From 2027

Germany’s Finance Ministry is drafting a 25% tax on cryptocurrency gains from 2027, according to Decrypt. The proposed change would apply to crypto bought from 2027 onward, while assets purchased before that year would continue to qualify for the existing 12-month exemption. As a result, the measure would target Germany’s future crypto buyers rather than holdings acquired before 2027. The report concerns a draft proposal, and the supplied information does not specify whether the measure has been finalized or provide further details on its scope. The development is relevant to participants tracking the German tax treatment of crypto assets, including MON, ONT and ORE, which are among the assets linked to this market update.
