The Reaper Report — Weekly Crypto Tax Intelligence

Editor in Chief Denise

Every week: the regulation, the enforcement, the audits most outlets won't cover.

I'm Denise — editor of The Reaper Report. From 2026 we'll cover global crypto tax news the way it actually lands: weekly, honestly, and without the copy-paste compliance filler most publications serve up. Regulation shifts. Data-matching programs. The 1099-DA rollout. DAC8. The software that breaks under pressure. Written to be read, not filed. See you at launch.

Four beats. One weekly report.

Publishing weekly from 2026

01 / Regulation

Laws, Guidance, Policy

DAC8 rollouts, HMRC manual updates, ATO rulings, Treasury guidance on DeFi and staking. What changed, what it means, and who it hits first.

02 / Enforcement

Audits, Data, Prosecutions

Data-matching programs. 1099-DA reconciliation notices. Wallet tracing cases. The real enforcement landscape investors need to see — not the soft-pedal press release version.

Where It's Going Next

Weekly readouts on emerging enforcement patterns, OECD CARF expansion, and the policy moves that haven't hit the mainstream yet. The leading indicators, not the lagging ones.
