Many still think that crypto is 'illegal'...
However, in France, it is totally legal — provided that a few simple rules are followed 👇
---
⚖️ 1. Legality
✅ Buying, selling, exchanging, or holding cryptocurrencies is allowed.
⚠️ The platforms used must be registered with the AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers) as Digital Asset Service Providers (PSAN).
Examples: Binance, Coinbase, Bitstack.
💡 This ensures the compliance and security of your funds.
---
💶 2. Taxation
In France, gains in crypto are taxable when they are converted into euros or used to purchase something.
👉 If you exchange just one crypto for another, there is no immediate taxation.
The most common tax rate:
30 % (PFU — Single Flat Rate Withholding),
unless your gains remain low or occasional.
---
🧩 3. To know
You must declare your accounts opened on foreign platforms (e.g., Binance, Coinbase).
The forms to fill out: 2086 and 3916-bis (easy to find on impots.gouv.fr).
You can also declare zero gain if you haven't converted anything into euros.

💬 In summary
✅ Legal crypto in France
✅ Taxable gains only when you cash out
✅ Platforms recognized and controlled by the AMF
