CRA Can See Your Crypto Wallet — Now
How CRA traces crypto activity through exchanges, banks, blockchain analysis, and global reporting systems – turning supposedly "private" wallets into fully auditable financial records.
Show Notes
Most crypto traders believe their wallets are private.
They're not.
In this solo, Sunny breaks down how CRA goes from your name to your wallet – and from one transaction to your entire crypto history.
From exchange data and blockchain analysis to bank reporting and global crypto disclosure frameworks, this solo walks through how crypto audits actually work in real life – not just in theory.
If you've ever moved coins off an exchange, staked, mined, used DeFi, or cashed out to a bank, this solo shows where the audit "choke points" really are.
Here's What We Unpack:
• How exchanges connect your name to wallet addresses
• Why a single withdrawal can expose full on-chain activity
• What triggers crypto audits
• How bank deposits and FINTRAC reports create audit leads
• The role of DeFi, privacy coins, and offshore platforms
• Investor vs. business classification – and why it changes your tax outcome
• What CARF means for offshore platforms and cross-border reporting (2026-2027)
• What's inside CRA's 54-question crypto audit form
Crypto isn't anonymous. The moment it touches an exchange or a bank, it becomes traceable.
