Whoa, I hadn’t seen that either—Form 1099-DA in 2026? That’s a big deal. So basically, exchanges and even wallet providers will have to report your crypto trades—including wallet addresses—to the IRS. Not just gains/losses, but full transaction details. That’s a huge step toward full surveillance of on-chain activity tied to identities. If this goes through as described, privacy in U.S.-regulated crypto is about to get a lot harder. Definitely time to brush up on privacy tools like CoinJoin, self-custody best practices, and maybe reconsider how you’re interacting with centralized platforms. Feels like the window for pseudonymity is closing fast.
