Bull Bitcoin has initiated legal proceedings against the EU's DAC8 directive, filing an emergency lawsuit with France's Conseil d’État. The directive mandates that starting in 2026, all EU crypto service providers must report comprehensive user data, including identity and transaction details, to tax authorities across the EU. Bull Bitcoin argues this constitutes mass surveillance, affecting up to 135 million residents, and increases risks of data breaches and extortion. The platform advocates for more secure, peer-to-peer information requests instead.
