German Finance Ministry drafts bill to tax cryptocurrency gains at 25%, removing one-year tax-free holding period

⚡ Markets: Negative for Germany's attractiveness as a crypto hub for long-term holders. Could trigger selling before the rule change if passed. Sets a precedent for other EU nations to align crypto taxation with traditional assets.BTCETH

Germany's Finance Ministry has proposed a new law that would apply a 25% flat tax on cryptocurrency gains, similar to the tax on stocks and other capital assets. The change, planned for 2027 or 2028, would eliminate the current rule that makes crypto gains tax-free if held for over a year.
