The UK government will enforce stringent data collection requirements for cryptocurrency firms starting January 2026. Companies must gather full names, home addresses, and tax identification numbers for all users, aligning with the OECD’s Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF).

Non-compliance carries severe penalties—firms face fines of up to £300 per user for inaccurate or incomplete reporting. HM Revenue & Customs advised businesses to begin preparations early to meet the deadline.
