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.

Why it matters

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.
