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.
