JUST IN: 🇩🇪Germany’s Finance Ministry wants a 25% TAX on crypto profits, which could start as early as 2028. The ministry expects to collect an extra €160 MILLION in 2028, rising to €350 MILLION a year by 2031. Currently, private investors can sell crypto tax-free after holding it for more than one year. Under the proposal, profits would be taxed at 25% no matter how long investors hold their crypto. Crypto profits would be treated more like stock investment gains, replacing the current system that generally taxes short-term gains at personal income tax rates. The proposal still needs approval. Final rules on whether existing holdings would keep their tax benefits remain unclear.(Coin Bureau)
