Crypto and digital asset information reporting - August 2024
In this webcast, panelists discuss new regulations that outline reporting requirements for digital asset brokers and include transition relief for certain brokers.
Recently released final regulations and accompanying notices require brokers to report sales and exchanges of digital assets beginning in calendar year 2025. Further, cost-basis reporting will be required by certain brokers for transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2026. This timeline, as well as the complexity of the requirements, presents challenges not only to centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, but also to traditional financial institutions and many others. Firms across the spectrum will need to determine how the new regulatory requirements impact any existing processes and technology, from customer onboarding to reporting.
Join EY for a webcast discussion of the regulatory requirements and implementation considerations. Agenda topics will include:
The effective date
Definitions of “broker” and “digital asset”
Due diligence requirements
Information reporting requirements
Basis reporting rules
Considerations for operationalizing the requirements
Transitional rules in Notices 2024-56 and 2024-57
