By Stéphanie Fuchs & Klaudia Kuklinska

WiW3CH - Community Spotlight - 23 July 2025

Crypto tax feels confusing? You’re definitely not alone.

In the latest Community Spotlight episode, we sit down with Stéphanie Fuchs, tax advisor and founder of Stéphanie Fuchs Consulting, to unpack one of the most complex and fast-moving topics in Web3: taxation.

With deep expertise at the intersection of traditional finance and emerging technology, Stéphanie brings clarity to a landscape that often feels overwhelming—especially as regulators around the world race to catch up with innovation.

In this episode, we explore:

• How tax frameworks can support or stifle innovation

• What the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) means in practice

• Why DeFi and tokenization are pushing existing tax systems to their limits

• Whether crypto is being unfairly targeted by global regulators

• How fear and uncertainty shape regulatory decisions

  
  

Beyond the technical insights, Stéphanie shares her personal journey—blending tax and tech, stepping out of the corporate world, and founding her own firm. She also reflects on how Women in Web3 Switzerland played a key role in that leap.

If you’ve ever felt lost in the legal and regulatory maze of digital assets, this episode offers both clarity and perspective.
