France's Conseil d'État to review first legal challenge to DAC8, the EU's crypto-asset tax-reporting Directive On February 24, 2026, Bitcoin exchange Bull Bitcoin filed a petition with France's Conseil d'État, the country's highest administrative court, seeking to annul Decree No. 2025-1276, France's implementation of the EU's DAC8 directive. What DAC8 actually requires DAC8 (Directive (EU) 2023/2226, adopted by the EU Council in 2023) took effect January 1, 2026. It requires "crypto-asset service providers", the exchanges most Bitcoin holders use to buy, sell, or cash out, to collect each customer's identity and transaction history and report it annually to their national tax authority. That data is then automatically exchanged with tax authorities in other EU member states, and eventually with non-EU countries that adopt the OECD's parallel Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF).
