What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The National Assembly's Finance Committee adopted two key crypto-related amendments on October 12, 2026. One measure requires holders of self-custodied crypto assets valued at €100,000 or more to report these holdings at year-end, with potential fines of up to €10,000 for non-compliance. Separately, the committee voted to extend France’s exit tax to include crypto-assets starting January 1, 2027, applying the same threshold used for relocating equity investors.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

These legislative changes introduce significant new compliance requirements for high-value crypto holders in France. The rules aim to combat tax evasion by bringing self-custodied digital assets under the general tax code and extending existing capital flight taxes to the crypto sector.
