Major Cryptocurrencies Post Annual Declines as German Tax-Loss Deadlines Approach
A comparison of ten major crypto assets shows widespread yearly drops, highlighting the expiring window for German taxpayers to realize deductible losses before the one-year limit.
An analysis by cryptoticker.io on September 9, 2026, comparing daily closing prices of ten widely traded crypto assets against levels from twelve months prior revealed that nine had declined. Under German tax rules, capital losses on private crypto disposals can only be offset against gains if realized within a one-year holding period, after which the ability to claim the tax deduction expires.
Bitcoin declined 29.2% over the twelve-month timeframe, falling from $111,541 to approximately $78,925. Ethereum posted a 42.2% decline, sliding from $4,308.23 to $2,490.88. Steeper drops were recorded across other assets, with XRP dropping 51.8%, Solana 52.3%, Chainlink 46.9%, Dogecoin 62.5%, Avalanche 69.5%, and Cardano 74.8%.
Only two evaluated assets gained value over the period: Tron rose 1.2%, while Zcash increased from $48.22 to $1,235.92. The dataset was compiled using 7,210 daily candles pulled from the Kraken exchange price interface and verified against secondary market data sources.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
