Waltio Expands to Germany and Italy
Crypto taxation in Europe is entering a new era.
With increasing regulatory enforcement, upcoming EU frameworks such as MICAr and DAC8, and stronger cooperation between tax authorities, crypto investors can no longer afford uncertainty when it comes to reporting their digital assets.
Against this backdrop, Waltio announces its official expansion into Germany and Italy, two of the continent’s most important and fast-growing crypto markets.
🇩🇪 Germany: One of Europe’s Largest and Most Complex Crypto Markets
Germany is widely recognized as one of the largest crypto markets in Europe, with millions of private investors holding digital assets. At the same time, German crypto taxation remains among the most technically complex in the region.
Rules around holding periods, tax exemptions after one year, staking income, and reporting obligations require careful calculation and precise documentation. Many investors still rely on spreadsheets or manually reconcile exchange exports — a time-consuming and risky process.
Waltio now offers a fully localized German solution, including:
- A complete tax report compliant with German tax law
- Automatic calculation of gains, losses, and holding periods using the FIFO method
- A step-by-step guide to transferring figures into ELSTER form
- Clear classification of staking and other taxable income.

🇮🇹 Italy: Rapid Growth and Increasing Regulatory Clarity
LItaly has seen strong growth in crypto adoption in recent years. According to industry estimates, millions of Italian investors now hold digital assets, while the regulatory framework has become increasingly structured.
Italian taxation requires:
- Reporting foreign-held crypto accounts (e.g., through sections such as Quadro RW)
- Calculation of capital gains
- Accurate valuation of digital assets
- Transparent reporting of staking or additional crypto income
Waltio’s Italian version provides:
- A fully compliant tax report aligned with Italian crypto regulation
- Automatic calculation of capital gains and taxable events
- Clear guidance for completing relevant sections of the Italian tax declaration
- Full transaction history documentation for audit readiness
With enforcement increasing and data-sharing between EU countries expanding, having structured documentation is becoming essential for Italian crypto investors.
