After months of preparation, research, and quiet building, the Global Council on Crypto Taxation (GCOCT) has officially launched.

Born from a simple idea that innovation should not be lost in translation between technology and policy, GCOCT is now live as a global nonprofit platform connecting innovators, investors, and policymakers across every region.

The timing could not be more urgent. With new reporting rules taking effect in 2026 and global regulators racing to define digital asset taxation, the world is heading into what experts call the most complex tax shift in a generation. Billions of dollars move across blockchains daily, yet most governments still lack basic frameworks to track or understand these transactions.

GCOCT was created to fill that gap. Our mission is to push for fairness, clarity, and collaboration before confusion turns into crisis. We believe that digital assets can power the next wave of economic growth if given the space to thrive under intelligent, globally aligned tax policy.

The Council will publish cross-border research, jurisdictional rankings, and readiness indexes to highlight where policy supports innovation and where it holds it back. It will also host policy dialogues, expert panels, and open forums that bring together both regulators and builders to learn from one another. Crypto is no longer a niche market. It is a new financial infrastructure connecting hundreds of millions of people.
