From 2026, Switzerland will begin automatic crypto asset data exchange with 74 compliant partner countries, including the EU and UK.
The Swiss Federal Council approved a list of 74 partner countries for the automatic exchange of information (AEOI) on crypto assets. Implementation is set for 2026, and the first data exchange is scheduled for 2027.
This announcement was made by the Swiss Federal Council on 6 June 2025.
The approved countries include all EU member states, the UK, and most G20 nations, excluding the US and Saudi Arabia. Data exchange will only proceed if partner countries express interest and meet the standards set by the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework.
The Federal Council’s decision builds on its earlier adoption, on 19 February 2025, of a bill establishing the international and national legal bases for AEOI on cryptoassets. That bill is currently under parliamentary review and is expected to take effect on 1 January 2026.
Prior to the actual exchange of data on crypto assets, the Federal Council will also review whether the partner states with which the AEOI has been activated continue to fulfil the standard’s requirements. To this end, the existing review mechanism for the AEOI on financial account information should, in the future, also cover the AEOI concerning crypto assets, which requires the corresponding federal decree to be amended accordingly.
