Spain Sets Strict Crypto Rules for 2026

Published by

Spain will fully enforce key EU crypto rules, MiCA and DAC8, in 2026 to boost oversight and transparency. From January 1, 2026, crypto platforms must collect detailed transaction, balance, and fund‑flow data and report it under DAC8 to EU tax authorities, with exchanges exchanging information by September 2027. Under MiCA, all crypto-asset service providers must obtain full CNMV authorization by July 1, 2026, or cease operations. Spain’s tax authorities can act on tax debts, but self‑custody wallets remain outside reporting rules.
