How CRA Tracks Crypto Wallets — Even When You Think You're Anonymous

Most crypto traders believe their wallets are private.

They're not.

In this episode of Advisors Table, we break 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 video 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 episode shows where the audit "choke points" really are.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• 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.
