An amendment adopted by the Finance Committee of the National Assembly requires the reporting of assets exceeding €100,000. The new rules apply to cryptocurrency held in personal wallets that is not stored with a crypto-asset service provider. The value of the assets must be reported as of December 31. In the event of violations, fines of up to €10,000 are предусмотрены.
Lawmakers noted that in 2021, capital gains from cryptocurrency transactions reached €3.5 billion. At the same time, only €400 million in crypto was declared to the tax authorities.
Crypto supporters fear that the register could lead to data leaks and worsen the problem of kidnappings targeting crypto investors. Since 2025, more than 70 such cases have been recorded in France, including the case of Ledger co-founder David Balland. The amendments are part of the 2027 budget, which has not yet been approved.
