This episode of The New Money Podcast features Florian Wimmer, Co-founder and CEO of Blockpit - the Austrian crypto tax startup now leading Europe’s compliance infrastructure. Florian shares how Blockpit went from a side project built in Excel to a multi-jurisdiction platform used by individuals, institutions, and tax authorities across the EU. We dive into the 2026 rollout of the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), why just 3% of traders currently file taxes, and how Blockpit is positioning itself for a 10–30x market expansion. Florian also speaks candidly about crypto’s libertarian roots, the ethics of taxation, and the challenges of consolidating a fragmented European market. A deep look at crypto’s regulatory maturation - and what it means for builders on both sides of the state-market divide.
