Bull Bitcoin, a non-custodial Bitcoin exchange, has filed a legal petition in France to annul Decree No. 2025-1276, which implements the EU's DAC8 directive requiring crypto service providers to report extensive user data to tax authorities. The company argues that centralized databases holding sensitive user information pose significant security and privacy risks to millions of Europeans. This is the first formal legal challenge against DAC8 in the EU and marks a notable pushback against the broader Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework. Bull Bitcoin, fully licensed under EU regulations, emphasizes that its non-custodial model protects user control over funds despite the new reporting rules.
