Compliance in motion: What the new rules mean

A three-part whitepaper series by Regnology

As digital assets move into the regulatory spotlight, tax authorities around the world are introducing sweeping new frameworks to close the transparency gap.

This three-part whitepaper series from Regnology explores:

The global convergence of digital asset tax regulation
The operational challenges facing financial institutions
Strategic approaches to building scalable, future-proof compliance

Whether you're a traditional financial institution or a crypto-native platform, this series offers practical insights to help you prepare for CARF, DAC8, CRS 2.0, Form 1099-DA, and beyond.

The clock is ticking. Most major frameworks—including CARF, DAC8, and CRS 2.0—go into effect on January 1, 2026, with reporting obligations beginning shortly after.

Institutions must act now to avoid falling behind.

Part 2

Compliance in motion: What the new rules mean for financial institutions

In Part 1, we explored the global convergence of new tax reporting frameworks—CARF, DAC8, CRS 2.0, and Form 1099-DA—and how they are reshaping the regulatory landscape.

In Part 2, we turn to the operational realities. As these frameworks move toward enforcement, institutions must assess their readiness to comply. Whether you're a traditional financial institution or a crypto-native platform, the new rules demand a fundamental shift in how data is collected, processed, and reported.

From jurisdictional complexity and infrastructure gaps to evolving entity definitions and NEXUS-based reporting obligations, the impact is far-reaching. This section outlines what institutions must contend with—and how to begin preparing.

"The risk isn’t just noncompliance – it’s waking up in 2026 already behind.”

Key takeaways

It’s not One-Size-Fits-All: Discover why the staggered, country-by-country rollout of CARF and DAC8 creates a fractured compliance map that requires localized, defensible logic—not a single global policy.
Your identity changes by jurisdiction: Understand how your firm can be classified as a "Broker" under U.S. law, a "CASP" under EU rules, and something else entirely elsewhere, fundamentally changing your obligations based on location and activity.
The data deluge is real: See the massive operational gap between providing periodic summaries (CARF/DAC8) and delivering high-frequency, transaction-level records (1099-DA), and what this means for your data infrastructure.
Different starting lines, same uncertain race: We break down the two distinct challenges: Traditional firms must retrofit legacy systems for crypto's granularity, while crypto-natives must build entire compliance functions from scratch—all while facing universal uncertainty.
The greatest risk is inaction: Learn why the lack of harmonized timelines and definitions creates significant risks of reporting gaps and duplicative work, and why firms that wait will find themselves already behind in 2026.
