If you’re a UK resident dabbling in crypto, there’s a big tax shake-up coming your way. Starting January 2026, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is tightening the rules on crypto to make sure no gains slip through the cracks. Platforms will be required to collect detailed personal info from users and report it to the government, putting an end to the idea that crypto is somehow off-grid. As part of the UK crypto crackdown, even overseas exchanges must report data if they serve UK customers.

New Rules Mean Less Anonymity

The new requirements mean that crypto platforms operating in the UK, or even overseas exchanges that serve UK customers, will need to gather identifying details from anyone trading on their site. That includes your full name, home address, date of birth, and your national insurance number or tax ID.
