As of September 9, 2026, nine out of ten major cryptocurrencies are trading below their prices from exactly one year earlier, with Bitcoin down 29% and others like Ethereum and Cardano falling even more sharply. In Germany, this date marks the expiration of the one-year holding period for tax purposes, meaning losses on crypto assets purchased a year ago can no longer be used to offset gains if not realized by this deadline. Investors holding crypto bought in autumn 2025 should consider selling before the anniversary to preserve tax benefits, as losses realized after one year are not recognized for tax offset. This tax rule applies even to staked or lent coins, and losses can only offset gains from private disposals within the same year, not other income types. Careful record-keeping and use of crypto tax tools are advised to manage these deadlines effectively.
