Crypto users forced to share account details with tax officials

Cryptocurrency exchanges, which act like banks for the industry allowing people to exchange standard currency for virtual coins, must now ensure they automatically share up to date and accurate accounts of all their users' earnings.

"Our goal is to have a regime that protects consumers, supports innovation and promotes trust. We welcome feedback to help us finalise these rules," said David Geale, the FCA's executive director for payments and digital finance.
