  In Germany, gains from cryptocurrency trading are subject to taxation. The tax treatment depends on the holding period of the cryptocurrency. If the cryptocurrency is held for less than one year, the gains are considered short-term and are taxed as regular income. However, if the cryptocurrency is held for more than one year, the gains are considered long-term and are subject to a reduced tax rate. It's important to keep track of all transactions and report them accurately on your tax return to ensure compliance with German tax laws.
