During the last years, France has become a country of entrepreneurship and a great place to start a business. This applies specifically to crypto. The French crypto-blockchain ecosystem is growing with over 100 established companies of all sizes. The success of the French crypto industry is in part due to the favorable regulatory regimes applying to companies in this space.

Passed in 2019, the French legislation for markets in digital assets (the “PACTE law”) is an innovative regulatory framework for market participants in the digital asset industry and their supervision by French financial regulators. The first brick of the French legislation for markets in digital assets is the optional visa for token issuers. This “ICO visa” is granted by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF).

It's also worth to note that the future EU regulatory regime is inspired by this bespoke approach: by complying to French regulatory regime, you get a head start on the future EU crypto framework.

Join us and learn how to leverage French framework and ecosystem to get your crypto project off the ground in France and Europe!

Stay tuned for future guest announcements!
