UK crypto exchanges must collect users' home addresses from 2026, raising Bitcoin privacy concerns.

Starting January 1, 2026, UK crypto exchanges and wallet providers must collect detailed user information including full home addresses under HMRC's adoption of the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). This aims to improve tax compliance and recover an estimated £300 million in unpaid taxes over five years. However, privacy advocates warn that linking public Bitcoin transactions to personal addresses risks exposing users' holdings and locations, especially if the data is leaked. The first reports are due by May 31, 2027, with international data sharing expected soon after, raising concerns about data protection and privacy trade-offs for UK crypto users.

The UK tax rules on Bitcoin users provide context for cryptocurrency market activity on Pluang. For readers following crypto assets, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 15, 2026 18:51 WIB: out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, only 4 rose while 45 fell.
