France plans to relax rules for retail cryptocurrency trading, following UK's EU-wide shift

PANews reported on December 10 that according to Cryptopolitan, the French Financial Market Authority (AMF) will update relevant regulations to allow the sale of certain crypto investment products to retail investors. After the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also proposed plans to relax restrictions on retail investors investing in cryptocurrency ETNs, France followed suit. Since the ban was implemented in October 2025, the French AMF will adjust its rules to allow retail marketing of crypto-index ETNs for the first time and remove warning label requirements for eligible products.

The adjusted rules of the French AMF involve the nature of crypto-assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and other crypto-assets that meet requirements such as market capitalization, average trading volume and the degree of supervision of trading platforms. It plans to review this policy change in the first half of 2027.
