The OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) has an explicitly international scope, with broad global participation. As of recent OECD commitments, around 70–75 jurisdictions worldwide - including major economies such as the UK, EU Member States, United States, Japan, Singapore, Brazil, and several offshore financial centres - have agreed to implement CARF and participate in the automatic exchange of crypto-asset transaction information between tax authorities. Within the European Union, the framework is implemented through DAC8 (the eighth amendment to the Directive on Administrative Cooperation), which applies across all 27 EU Member States and requires reporting crypto-asset service providers to collect and report user and transaction data to tax authorities for cross-border exchange starting from the 2026 reporting year. Together, CARF and DAC8 create a globally coordinated transparency regime covering dozens of jurisdictions across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and other financial centres, significantly expanding international cooperation on crypto-asset tax reporting.

As digital assets and tokenised securities move more mainstream, financial institutions face increasing regulatory scrutiny under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). For many firms, the priority is not rapid crypto adoption, but gaining clarity, certainty, and confidence in how digital assets are classified, reported, or screened out.

This webinar, co-hosted by SIX and WTS Hansuke, brings together regulatory, data, and market infrastructure perspectives to explore how CARF applies in practice - and what firms should be doing now to remain compliant. Even institutions without native crypto offerings may already be in scope due to tokenised securities, digital bonds, or indirect exposure within client portfolios.

Whether your organisation is just starting its CARF/DAC8 journey or already evaluating systems and strategies, this session provides the insight needed to stay ahead of global enforcement and avoid costly pitfalls.
