Lithuania Updates Crypto Asset Reporting Rules to Align With EU DAC8

This is the compliance plumbing for crypto's tax transparency era, not a market-moving event. It matters most for crypto asset service providers operating in Lithuania, which now face the same identity, balance and residency reporting duties as traditional financial intermediaries, while the duplicate-filing exemption reduces friction for cross-border firms. The open question is how many smaller platforms lack the data infrastructure to meet these standards before automatic EU-wide exchange begins in mid-2027.
