France plans to relax rules on cryptocurrency trading for retail investors, following the UK's lead in making similar changes across the EU.

According to Cryptopolitan, the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) will update its regulations to allow the sale of certain crypto investment products to retail investors. This follows the UK Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) plan to ease restrictions on retail investment in cryptocurrency ETNs. Since the ban was implemented in October 2025, this rule adjustment by the French AMF will, for the first time, allow retail marketing of crypto index ETNs and remove the warning label requirement for eligible products. The revised rules of the French AMF address the nature of crypto assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto assets that meet requirements regarding market capitalization, average trading volume, and the level of regulation of the trading platform. The AMF plans to review this policy change in the first half of 2027.
