# Can HMRC track my crypto?

Yes, in most practical cases. UK exchanges verify identity and provide customer data to HMRC, the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF) brings standardised reporting from January 2026 including overseas platforms, and public blockchains are analysable. Assume HMRC can connect exchange accounts to you, and self-report accurately rather than relying on crypto being invisible.
