France plans to ease retail cryptocurrency trading rules, following the UK's lead in making changes within the EU

ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptopolitan, the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) will update relevant regulations to allow the sale of certain crypto investment products to retail investors.

Following the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which also proposed plans to relax restrictions on retail investment in crypto ETNs, France is following suit. Since the ban was implemented in October 2025, the French AMF's latest regulatory adjustment will, for the first time, allow retail marketing of crypto index ETNs and remove the warning label requirement for eligible products. The revised rules by the French AMF involve the nature of crypto assets, such as bitcoin, ethereum, and other crypto assets that meet requirements for market capitalization, average trading volume, and the level of regulation of trading platforms. The AMF plans to review this policy change in the first half of 2027.
