Switzerland to Automatically Share Crypto Data with Select Partner States Starting 2027
Switzerland's Federal Council has approved a framework for the automatic exchange of crypto-related information with 74 partner states, including all EU members and most G20 nations. The initiative excludes the United States and Saudi Arabia.
The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), developed by the OECD, will govern the data sharing process. Implementation begins in 2026, with the first exchanges scheduled for 2027. Participation requires mutual interest and compliance with CARF standards.
This move signals Switzerland's alignment with global crypto transparency efforts while maintaining selective partnerships. The Alpine nation continues to balance its crypto-friendly reputation with regulatory cooperation.
