  The tax rates for capital gains on digital assets in Germany depend on the holding period of the asset. If you hold the digital asset for less than one year, it is considered a short-term capital gain and is subject to your regular income tax rate. However, if you hold the digital asset for more than one year, it is considered a long-term capital gain and is subject to a flat tax rate of 25%. It's important to note that these tax rates may vary depending on your individual tax situation, so it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional for personalized advice.
